Prediction for Tigres UANL Vs Motagua

In the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals, Tigres will host Motagua at Estadio Universitario. After winning the away leg 1-0 in Honduras last week, the hosts have the upper hand in the match. The Mexican team took the lead with a goal from Luis Quinones in the 44th minute.

After their victory on home soil, Tigres suffered a 2-1 defeat against Mazatlan at their home ground in the Mexican Liga MX. Miguel Sansores and Francisco Venegas scored in the first half to give the visitors a two-goal lead, before Sebastian Cordova scored a consolation goal for Tigres in the 72nd minute.

Meanwhile, Motagua will enter the match fresh off a 1-0 victory over Vida in the Honduran Liga Nacional. Juan Delgado scored a last-gasp winner to lead the team to all three points. As they look to advance to the semifinals, they will be focused on the continent. In the Round of 16, the winner of this tie will face either Club Leon or Violet.

Details of the Tigres UANL vs Motagua match

Tigres UANL will face CD Motagua in the CONCACAF Champions League, North America and Central America on April 14, 2023. The match is scheduled to begin at 02:00 UTC and will take place at Estadio Universitario (UANL), Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

Prediction for Tigres UANL vs. Motagua:

Tigres is the favorite coming into this match, having shown their strength in the first leg, but they have been struggling with consistency lately. Thanks to their narrow win in Honduras, they have a slight advantage going into the game and will be looking to finish the job in front of their home fans.

On the other hand, Motagua is optimistic about their chances of coming back from the one-goal deficit. They will play cautiously to prevent the home team from scoring any more goals during the break. Tigres has been involved in mostly low-scoring games in recent months, so the hosts will be expected to win by a small margin while keeping a clean sheet.

Prediction: Tigres 1-0 Motagua

Head-to-head between Tigres UANL and Motagua:

The only meeting between these two teams occurred in the first leg. Motagua has scored fewer than three goals in nine of their last 11 games, with at least one team scoring in eight of those games. Tigres' only win in their last seven games across all competitions came in the first leg.

Motagua has lost only one of their last six away games across all competitions, while Tigres has failed to pick up any points in six home games and has lost four of their last six games in this group. In four of Tigres' last six home games, they have failed to score three goals and have been complacent in keeping their lead, allowing at least one team to catch up behind them.

Tigres UANL and Motagua both have relatively low absentee rates heading into their upcoming match. The only fitness concern for Tigres coach Marco Luis is David Ayala, who is out due to a torn ACL. On the other hand, Motagua's manager has no fitness concerns for the game.
