América vs Tigres UANL - What they need to win the title

After Thursday's draw, the landscape for this game is quite simple: both teams need to win the game to lift the title. The usual tiebreakers such as who finished higher in the Liga MX table do not apply here, which means that a clean win will do the trick for both clubs. In case the game ends level after 90 minutes, extra time and penalties will be used to determine the winner.

América vs Tigres UANL - Team news

The final match of the season is here for América, and they must be considered as favorites for this game considering their display during the regular season. Las Águilas lost two games at home considering their playoff loss last week, but they have proven to be quite capable when playing in front of their supporters, where they found the back of the net 27 times. The team has only reported an injury absence for this game, as winger Brian Rodríguez is fully fit to play the decisive game of what has been an impressive Apertura 2023 for Los Azulcremas.

On the other hand, Tigres may seem as the victim by some, but they have also shown their capabilities when it comes to playing crunch ties away from home. Los Felinos have won six of their eight titles playing on the road, including their Clausura 2023 title against Chivas. In case they win, Tigres would level Cruz Azul as the fourth most-winning team in Liga MX, which is a major accomplishment. In terms of the availability of their stars, striker André-Pierre Gignac seems fit to play the full game, and the recovery of a key winger could keep things interesting for the final game of the season.

Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this Liga MX clash.

América: Nestor Araujo (injured).

Tigres UANL: Luis Quiñones, Samir Caetano (doubtful).
