The first round of the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup will begin next Tuesday night with the game between Forge FC and Tigres UANL, for which the bookies’ odds made the Mexican team favorite to win. Despite this, it should be noted that Ontario is likely to be freezing, a fact that is expected to provide Forge a significant home advantage, as Tigres aren’t used to playing under these conditions.
However, it’s undeniable that there is a big disparity between the two rosters, so Tigres are expected to jump onto the pitch with a defensive strategy that could allow them to create dangerous counterattacks during the match. Additionally, the Forge’s lack of activity will provide Tigres an invaluable advantage; thus, they should score at least one goal to benefit from the away goal rule and take the second leg at home with more confidence.
Additionally, it’s also important to note that Forge has failed to score more than one goal in four of their last five games, so their chances of reaching the round of 16 in this continental competition are very limited. Despite this, facing tough challenges like this one is always relevant for their players to get some experience, as the Canadian Premier League is still some steps behind the MLS and the Liga MX in terms of competitiveness.
