Mazatlan will hope to enter into the playoff spots when they face reigning Liga MX champions Tigres UANL at Estadio de Mazatlán this Saturday.
Mazatlan haven’t been very reliable at the start of the season so far, having recorded only two wins out of their opening 10 games (4D, 4L). But they are coming into this encounter off the back of their best performance of the season, a convincing 3-1 victory over Chivas Guadalajara away from home in midweek.
The Tigers, meanwhile, are off to a strong start in the new Liga MX season and sit third in the table after nine games, just two points behind the leaders San Luis with a game-in hand.
The visitors ripped through an out-of-sorts Monterrey outfit to record a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Estadio Universitario last Sunday, before midweek action saw Robert Siboldi’s side beat MLS Cup winners Los Angeles FC in the Campeones Cup 2023 final at the BMO Stadium.
In what was a thriller of a soccer game filled with twists, drama, and red-card controversies, the Mexican giants ultimately ran out 4-2 victors in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw in regulation time.
