A struggling Tigres side began their Liga MX season by earning only one point out of a possible nine. In the Leagues Cup, the university team will play two of their three first-round matches in the United States; they drew against Real Salt Lake, securing an additional point in a penalty shootout in a less than encouraging result. Now, Elizondo's team faces Minnesota United.
Tigres opened the scoring with an excellent three-pass sequence and an early goal from Brunetta in the 6th minute, but Salt Lake equalized ten minutes later. From then on, the game stagnated, with a second half offering little action. The demanding Tigres fans are calling for more playing time for the younger players and less for the veterans. They are even criticizing the 40-year-old goalkeeper, Nahuel Guzmán.
The issue is that Minnesota United is also struggling, so much so that they went into the World Cup break on a four-game winless streak, which has since extended to eight.

Our Tigres UANL vs Minnesota United Prediction
Even worse, the Loons lost their League Cup debut against a Juárez side that wasn't in particularly good form; the Minnesota team has lost its attacking edge. Although Tigres is technically the home team, this Leagues Cup match will be played at Allianz Field, Minnesota's home stadium.
These are, therefore, two clubs in serious trouble. Just recently, Guido Pizarro announced his resignation as manager. The former player and manager who led them to finals left Tigres looking more like they're preparing for a transition period. Minnesota, meanwhile, is experiencing its worst winless streak in years.
Our prediction for Tigres vs Minnesota Utd is: Over 2.5 goals.
