Tigres Aim to Snap Five-Year Away Winless Streak Against Liga MX Leaders América

The upcoming encounter between Club América and Tigres UANL is more than just a regular season match; it's a battle steeped in recent history and significant league implications. Tigres are desperate to end a challenging streak, having failed to defeat América on their turf since the first leg of the Apertura 2019 quarterfinals. Although Tigres won that specific match 2-1, América ultimately advanced 4-2 on aggregate in the return leg. Since then, it's been six consecutive away losses for the Monterrey-based side against Las Águilas.

Currently, the stakes couldn't be higher in the Clausura 2025 season. América sits atop the standings with 27 points, looking to solidify their position. Tigres, close behind in third with 25 points, see a golden opportunity. A win would not only break the five-year curse but could also see them leapfrog both América and second-place León (if León fails to beat Pumas) into first place.

Under coach Guido Pizarro, Tigres have found recent success, winning their last two matches (1-0 vs. Querétaro, 3-0 vs. Santos). They'll need to carry that momentum against an América side coached by André Jardine, who are coming off a 3-1 victory against Atlas and have been formidable at home.

Reports suggest Jardine might implement rotations due to upcoming fixture congestion. A potential América lineup includes: Luis Ángel Malagón; Kevin Álvarez, Israel Reyes, Ramón Juárez, Chicote Calderón; Alan Cervantes, Álvaro Fidalgo; Erick Sánchez, Alejandro Zendejas, Brian Rodríguez; Víctor Dávila. However, Jardine is known for potential last-minute adjustments. This tactical aspect adds another layer of intrigue to a match already brimming with storylines.

When was the last time Tigres won away against América?

Tigres' last away victory against América was in the first leg of the Apertura 2019 quarterfinals, five years ago.

What are the current league positions of América and Tigres?

In the Clausura 2025 Jornada 13, América leads the league with 27 points, and Tigres is in third place with 25 points.

Can Tigres become league leaders after this match?

Yes, if Tigres defeat América and second-place León (also on 25 points before their match) draws or loses against Pumas.
