Tigres UANL vs LAFC Preview

• Tournament: Leagues Cup 2025
• Date: 6 August 2025
• Kick-Off Timing: 2:30 AM GMT
• Venue: BMO Stadium, Los Angeles

Tigres UANL look to maintain their perfect winning record at the 2025 Leagues Cup when they face off against a determined LAFC side in what is guaranteed to be a thrilling bout on Tuesday night. The Tigres UANL vs LAFC clash will take place at the BMO Stadium, Los Angeles, and is expected to be a feisty battle between two teams determined to get one over the other. Here is our Tigres UANL vs LAFC Preview. Tigres UANL have arguably the most impressive Liga MX team in the 2025 Leagues Cup so far, having won both their matches against MLS teams so far. They have won the two group games at the Leagues Cup, scoring six goals in two games, and remain unbeaten in all competitions in the 2025/26 season as well. Guido Pizarro has done an admirable job at pushing his side to clinical victories so far, but consistency is key for Tigres to go all the way at the Leagues Cup. He will need them to be defensively even sturdier to keep this tricky LAFC side quiet, and he also needs his players to be decisive and clinical on their attacking transitions to seal another statement victory. LAFC have been involved in some eventful matches at the 2025 Leagues Cup so far, dragging both games to penalty shootouts and only winning one of them. They are currently sixth in the MLS Western Conference Table and have just two wins in their last matches, as they'll need to pick up their form to get a compelling win over the Mexican side. Steve Cherundolo has to fix some issues with the squad, especially in terms of helping them be more efficient and ruthless in finishing off their chances well. He'll need them to maintain a compact defensive shape to frustrate Tigres and be at their ruthless best to get a big result.

Tigres UANL Team News

Guido Pizarro is still sweating over the fitness of defender Jesus Angulo. The 27-year-old is still recovering from a knee injury and remains a major doubt heading into the game, but he's the only injury concern for Tigres right now.

LAFC Team News

Steve Cherundolo is missing a number of important squad players at LAFC right now. The likes of Aaron Long (knee), Lorenzo Dellvalle (leg), and Maxime Chanot (head) are all out of action for the time being and unlikely to play in this. Nathan Ordaz is also suspended for this game after getting sent off in the last Leagues Cup game.

Key Players to Watch in Tigres UANL vs LAFC

Angel Correa (Tigres UANL)

Angel Correa has hit the ground running strongly for Tigres UANL since joining them from Atletico Madrid in the 2025 summer transfer window. He has scored four goals in their 2025 Leagues Cup matches so far, exceptionally outperforming his 0.90 xG as well! Correa looks like a perfect fit for Tigres' playing style and is thriving under the freedom being offered to him. The Argentine forward will look to continue his devastating form by tormenting the LAFC defenders with his unpredictable movement and final product. While he'll look to create more chances with his final passes, Correa will be focused on expertly finishing off whatever chances come at his disposal to help Tigres to another win.

Denis Bouanga (LAFC)

Denis Bouanga remains the vocal force for LAFC's frontline and has also produced some impressive performances at the Leagues Cup. He has scored one goal by outperforming his 0.00 xG and has been troubling defenders with his unpredictable style.

Bouanga needs to be sharp with his movement and link-up play to liven up LAFC's attacking style and help storm them forward into promising attacking situations. He will need to be prolific with his finishing and also innovative with his final passes to uplift his side's attacking threat and help them get a much-needed victory.

Tigres UANL vs LAFC Prediction

Because of the attacking style preferred by both these teams, this upcoming Leagues Cup match should be a really entertaining battle. Both the teams should push for goals and look to outwit each other on counterattacks, which should create a real back-and-forth encounter. However, Tigres UANL are flying high on momentum right now after the addition of Angel Correa, and that bit of extra power in the attack could be decisive. The Mexican side should fight their way to get another win to continue their heroics in the competition. Here is our Tigres UANL vs LAFC prediction.

Predicted Score: Tigres UANL 2-1 LAFC
