Tigres UANL will look to leapfrog frontrunners Cruz Azul as they are set to face the test of Club Leon in Matchday 10 of Liga MX Apertura campaign at the Estadio Universitario on Friday.

Team news & squads
Tigres team news
Due to the heavy fixture schedule, head coach Veljko Paunovic is expected to make up to six changes from the lineup that played against FC Juárez in their previous match.
In last weekend’s game, Jesús Garza, Diego Reyes, Marcelo Flores, Ozziel Herrera, Nicolás Ibáñez, and Jesús Angulo were brought into the starting eleven after being left out in Matchday 8 against Queretaro.
During the second half, the Serbian manager introduced regular starters Uriel Antuna, Javier Aquino, André-Pierre Gignac, and Sebastián Córdova, who have featured prominently throughout most of the tournament.
Looking ahead to Friday’s clash, there could be more changes, with André-Pierre Gignac, Rafael Carioca, Javier Aquino, Uriel Antuna, Sebastián Córdova, and possibly Juan Brunetta returning to the starting lineup. Brunetta missed the previous match due to suspension after being sent off against Gallos Blancos.
This reshuffle would see Guido Pizarro move back into central defense, replacing Diego Reyes, while it remains uncertain whether Marcelo Flores will continue in the lineup to fulfil the youth minutes requirement.
Tigres possible XI: Guzman; Henrique, Reyes, Garza, Angulo; Pizarro, Gorriaran, Herrera, Lainez; Gignac, Ibanez.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Guzman, Rodriguez, Ortega |
| Defenders: | Caetano, Purata, Reyes, Pizarro, Tercero, Ordonez, Angulo, Garza, Aquino, Henrique |
