Match Preview

Tigres UANL host Vancouver Whitecaps in a win-or-go-home finale to Leagues Cup group play. Only Tigres have something left to chase — a victory books their spot in the quarterfinals, and it comes in their first-ever Leagues Cup match at Estadio Universitario. Tigres have won both group matches on penalties, needing shootout heroics from keeper Nahuel Guzmán after an attack that's managed just one goal in regulation, scored by Juan Brunetta. Vancouver arrive already eliminated, having lost both games while conceding four and scoring only one, a rough patch for a side that otherwise sits fourth in the Concacaf Club Rankings. Star signing Thomas Müller has yet to make his mark in the competition. With desperation and home advantage on their side, expect the hosts to grind past a disjointed Vancouver outfit even if the finishing touch stays shaky. Our prediction: 2-1
