Tigres UANL vs Cruz Azul Match Preview
In Monterrey, a clash of two of this season's best teams takes place in a match sure to draw a crowd. UANL Tigres and Cruz Azul square off in an absolute cracker. UANL will pit its organized, defensive style of play against Cruz Azul's free-form offensive spectacle.
Despite the aforementioned defensive style, Tigres will hope to get production out of its excellent offensive trio in Hector Mancilla, Danilinho and Lucas Lobos. American midfielder Jonathan Bornstein is also set to start for the university. Meanwhile, Cruz Azul's Javier Orozco has been MIA for the team this season, riding the pine and watching Emanuel Villa net the goals for the Mexico City side.
Injuries to Hugo Droguett will force Cruz Azul coach Enrique Meza to shuffle the deck, which might mean an Orozco return for the Tigres match this Saturday night. Should a winner arise from this contest, therein exists the possibility of a new league leader by the end of the matchday. Cruz Azul have won two of the last three matches featuring both teams.
