Matchday five of the 2025 Liga MX season will include Tigres welcoming Club America at the Estadio Universitario on Sunday. The Mexican league is already done with five matchdays, and the table is slowly starting to take shape. Tigres is the second place with nine points so far and is already a title contender. Club America, on the other hand, is in the sixth spot with eight points. The Tigres vs Club America is one of the biggest fixtures in Mexican football, and the upcoming fixture is guaranteed to attract plenty of eyes.

Tigres will be content with how the recent matches have played out. In the last six matches, the club has managed five victories and just a single defeat. During this period, Tigres has scored a staggering 19 goals and conceded seven goals. The team is at the top of the charts when it comes to the number of goals scored per match (four). Jonathan Herrera has the most shots on target per match for Tigres (2.8). Guido Pizzaro will be aware that his squad is one of the frontrunners to be crowned the Mexican champions.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the latest games of Club America. The visitors have accumulated just a solitary victory along with four draws and a defeat in their last six outings. Club America was recently involved in three penalty shootouts in the Mexican Leagues Cup, winning two out of the three. Having accumulated eight points from the first four league games is still a decent run, and the players will be eager not to slip up against Tigres and lose further ground. Alexis Gutierrez has created the most big chances for America (two).

Key Players to Watch in Tigres vs Club America

Angel Correa (Tigres)

Angel Correa joined Tigres from Atletico Madrid this season. At Atletico, the Argentinian was mostly used as a substitute. However, at the Mexican outfit, Correa can expect to be given plenty of opportunities to showcase his abilities from the start. The 30-year-old likes to start from the wide positions but drifts into a more central area as the match progresses. He already has five goals and one assist in the six matches he has played for Tigres. The fans of the club will hope for consistent numbers from him for the remainder of the campaign.

Alexis Gutierrez (Club America)

For Club America, the most important player on Sunday will be Alexis Gutierrez. The midfielder has created the most big chances for Club America this season (two). Perhaps, his biggest strength lies in the fact that he can operate in plenty of positions all across the centre of the park as well as the attack. His creativity has rewarded him with an assist so far this season.
