Our view

Tigres are unbeaten in four of their last five in all competitions but have drawn three of them, and the loss of Brunetta removes a key attacking option. Leon had a four-match unbeaten run ended by America, yet the source notes they have performed better than Tigres over the campaign.

Most likely outcome: draw – Tigres' recent tendency to share points and the source's own 1-1 forecast point that way.
