Tigres UANL will welcome Vancouver Whitecaps to the Estadio Universitario on Wednesday in the second leg of their 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup Round One matchup.
The Tigers, who reached the final of the 2023 Apertura playoffs last year, have enjoyed a solid start to their Liga MX Clausura campaign, currently sitting in third place with 14 points after six rounds.
They dispatched Santos 3-0 in their most recent outing with Juan Brunetta bagging an early brace before Nicolas Ibanez completed the rout from the spot in the second half.
Vancouver, meanwhile, will face a difficult task at the Estadio Universitario in second leg, having conceded late and settled for a 1-1 draw at home in the first leg last week.
Away goals matter in Concacaf Champions Cup, meaning the Whitecaps must win or draw by two goals or more to advance directly to the last 16, where they will face either the Orlando City SC or Cavalry SC.
If Wednesday's game ends in a 1-1 tie after 90 minutes, two 15-minute extra periods will be played. If no winner emerges after extra time, the tie will be decided by a penalty shootout.

Team news & squads
Tigres team news
Tigres not only boast one of Concacaf's most stacked squads but also a fearsome striking talent in the form of André-Pierre Gignac. The prolific French striker was a threat for Los Auriazules up top in the opening leg, salvaging a crucial draw (and away goal) for Tigres with a stunning late free-kick.
Jesus Garza will start as the right wing-back. Diego Lainez will run down the opposite flank. Guido Pizarro is a fresh injury concern after picking up a calf injury in the victory over Santos Laguna, while Javier Aquino (knee) and David Ayala (broken knee cap) both remain on the sidelines.
Tigres possible XI: Guzman; Garza, Pizarro, Samir, Angulo, Lainez; Cordova, Gorriaran, Carioca, Brunetta; Ibanez
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Guzman, Rodriguez, Ortega |
| Defenders: | Caetano, Purata, Reyes, Pizarro, Tercero, Ordonez, Angulo, Garza |

Vancouver Whitecaps team news
High-profile Bosman transfer Damir Kreilach opened his account for Vancouver in last week's first leg, finding the net from close range on his debut.
The Caps' boss Vanni Sartini is likely to have fielded the same side that faced Tigres in the first leg. As such, with Brian White and Ryan Gauld in attack, Andres Cubas would play as the single-pivot in a familiar 3-1-4-2 formation.
Vancouver Whitecaps possible XI: Takaoka; Laborda, Vaselinovic, Blackmon; Cubas; Picault, Schopf, Raposo, Martins; White, Gauld
