Tigres enter the penultimate round stranded in 15th place on 15 points, sitting seven points and seven spots off the top-eight playoff positions with only two matches remaining. Under M. Vucetich, momentum has stalled after winning just once in their last five fixtures (W1 D2 L2). They were swept aside 3-0 at CF Pachuca in their last outing, having also recently suffered a 2-0 home loss to Leon either side of a 1-1 draw at Pumas.
Cruz Azul arrive firmly in the title race, sitting third on 29 points and level with the league leaders. They boast an unbeaten five-match sequence (W3 D2 L0) and have built serious form on their travels, following up a 5-0 thrashing of FC Juarez with consecutive away victories against CF Pachuca (2-1) and Club Queretaro (3-1).
