The rivalry between the two teams from Nuevo León could give one of these clubs the top spot in the league if they can win this clash.

One of the most anticipated matches of every season is the one between Monterrey and Tigres UANL, and this tournament's edition could be key for the end result of the competiton, as both teams are involved in the battle to finish the tournament in first place.

This evening, Monterrey will risk their current unbeaten run. So far, Rayados have won all their games at home, where they have won games against León (5-1), Puebla (1-0), and América (3-2). On the other hand, Tigres had shown quite an improvement after winning five in a row, but a visit against Pachuca saw that streak come to an end. Their previous clash to this one ended in a two-nil win for Miguel Herrera's team.

This edition of the Clásico Regio promises to be one for the ages, with two teams in their prime and fighting for Liguilla spots toe-to-toe. Let's have a closer look at the main details to keep an eye on ahead of one more chapter in this Liga MX rivalry.

Monterrey vs Tigres UANL - Team news

Monterrey enter this match in second place of the tournament with twenty points to their name and with six wins in nine matches. Victor Manuel Vucetich's men have not lost any of their last eight matches, which gives us a good idea on the impressive form they have shown throughout the season. The hosts on Saturday evening have scored 20 goals this season, the highest number in Liga MX at this point.

On the other hand, Tigres UANL make it to this clash having won eighteen points in the tournament, good enough for third place. Two of the team's three losses in the competition have come while playing away from home, which may raise a few red flags among their fans for this evening. Miguel Herrera's team has only conceded six time throughout the tournament, the best defensive record in Liga MX. Unfortunately for them, the team also owns the unflattering record for the most red cards in the competition, with six red cards for their footballers.
