Juarez vs U.A.N.L.- Tigres tips and predictions

Juarez earning respect in this clash

U.A.N.L.- Tigres are favoured by the sportsbooks. They should be, no doubt about it, but tread carefully when assessing this one.

Juarez backers will look at U.A.N.L.- Tigres's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. The last 5 fixtures have not all gone well for the away squad; they've lost 2 of them. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them dismiss the challenge of Juarez but they're certainly not a banker and a home win looks a fair play.

Juarez need to be prepared for half-chances against the run of play if they're to get this done. They have scored at least once in all of their recent 6 home matches and that's been backed up throughout the squad. At the back they've kept one clean sheet from their last 3 home games.

U.A.N.L.- Tigres can sometimes lose their shape on the road. They've conceded at least once in 9 of their last 10 away matches. And the home side's defenders will be looking for any signs that they aren't facing annihilation. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been quite poor. They've scored one or less goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up in stalemate. If U.A.N.L.- Tigres stamp their authority on the match they are likely to keep it tidy in defence. The No BTTS bet seems like it's the only option that offers any value in that market. As far as the total goals line goes, it's no more than a single goal in this game given these prices.
