Cruz Azul will be looking to record their fifth straight Liga MX win when they host 2023 Apertura finalists Tigres UANL at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in matchday seven of the Clausura 2024 on Saturday.
Both sides come into this clash in fine form. Tigres have not lost a single game in 2024, and sit joint-top with 14 points from their opening six Liga MX games. They have scored six goals unanswered in their last two games, rolling over Santos Laguna and Vancouver Whitecaps.
Cruz Azul, meanwhile, are breathing fire in the 2024 Clausura season, having lost just one out of six games so far, and clinched a comfortable 3-0 victory over Atletico San Luis at home last time out.
