Tigres UANL vs Chivas de Guadalajara: Where to watch Liga MX Apertura live online, TV, prediction and odds
Tigres UANL and Chivas de Guadalajara clash on Saturday in the Liga MX Apertura at the Estadio Universitario. The hosts are undefeated so far this domestic season but had a poor campaign in the League Cup, ending with a Round of 16 defeat to New York City FC, although the visitors failed to even get out of their group after finishing third out of three teams. Coming into the fifth game of the new campaign and Veljko Paunovic’s men have won three of four games and a draw to sit fourth and two points behind leaders CF Monterrey. Fernando Gago’s side sit ninth having won two and lost one of their opening four games and Tigres have won six of their last 10 encounters with Chivas, so the timing isn’t exactly ideal.

Team News
Tigress: Nahuel Guzman is suspended so he will not be available for this match while Diego Reyes is also expected to miss out. Otherwise, Paunovic should have a more or less full squad to choose from ahead of this match as the Serbian tactician looks to continue the current strong start to the season.
Probable Tigres XI: Rodriguez; Aquino, Pizarro, Purata, Angulo; Gorriaran, Carioca; Flores, Vigon, Cordova; Ibanez.
Chivas: Raul Martinez is injured and is unlikely to return before the end of the year, while Luis Olivas could also be out for the rest of the year and possibly the entire season after undergoing knee surgery on his ACL this Thursday. Jesús Orozco Chiquet missed the Leagues Cup and is not expected to be back by then, while Chicharito also missed the Leagues Cup but could be back here.
Probable Chivas XI: Rangel; Mozo, Sepulveda, Briceño, Castillo; Gonzalez; Alvarado, Beltran, Gutierrez, Cowell; Marin.
Prediction
On form this time around, Tigres must secure another win to remain unbeaten and move to the top of the Liga MX Apertura standings. Given the advantage of historical form, which has seen the visitors lose only four times in the last 10 rounds, another narrow defeat seems about right. choose: Tigres 2, Chivas 1.
