Tigres head coach Miguel Herrera will receive a huge boost this weekend thanks to the return of French duo Andre-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin.
Both players missed last week's 3-1 defeat to Toluca, which was Herrera's first loss since taking charge of the team.
Guido Pizarro was sent off in that game and misses out against Santos Laguna.
Carlos Salcedo is also unlikely to feature after picking up an injury on international duty with Mexico at the Olympics.
Predicted Tigres starting XI: Guzman, Venegas, Salcedo, Reyes, Chaka, Vigón, Carioca, Aquino, Lopez, Thauvin, Gonzalez.

| Forwards | Ibarguen, Otero, Jeraldino, Ocejo |
Santos Laguna started the season with a convincing 3-0 win over Necaxa, but could not continue that strong start as it was held at home by Cruz Azul.
Like Tigres, Santos Laguna also had involvement at the Olympics, with forward Eduardo Aguirre called into the Mexico squad.
Predicted Santos Laguna starting XI: Acevedo; Torres, Doria, Otero, Orrantia, Valdes, Gorriaran, Prieto, Campos, Carrillo, Ocejo
