Tigres vs Atletico San Luis Predictions & Tips

After consistently competing at the top end of Liga MX in recent seasons with an extremely talented squad, Tigres are expected to be one of the front runners for the closing phase title. Fuelled by the disappointed of a quarter final exit in the play-offs of the opening phase, the hosts will be hoping to kick things off with a win on Sunday.

Typically strong as hosts, Tigres should be able to do exactly but they do need to start tightening up their defence if they are to meet objectives. Indeed, both teams have now scored in Tigres’ last 3 competitive outings as well as 6 of their last 10 Liga MX home games and a 3-2 friendly defeat to Santos Laguna in their last match hardly suggests improvement is forthcoming on the defensive front.

Atletico San Luis hoping to cause an upset

Meanwhile, after securing promotion from the second tier, Atletico San Luis are looking to make the most of life in the big time. In the opening phase, the side didn’t pull up many trees, securing just 20 points from 18 games but under no pressure as regards relegation in this phase, they can enjoy playing without any real pressure on themselves.

San Luis showed over the opening phase of action that they can pack a punch but unfortunately also displayed some clear defensive weakness. Indeed, they managed to notch 22 times in their 18 matches but also conceded 31 times in said fixtures, showing why they were unable to push for a play-off place.

Tigres are clear favourites but an open game is expected

Ultimately, with the quality they have and home advantage on their side, this is a match Tigres clearly should be winning. Man for man, they are a stronger side than San Luis but the visitors won’t be coming into the game just to sit back and that should create an open style of game.

All things considered, we see excellent value in backing the Both Teams to Score line and feel it’s the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. Both teams have now scored in San Luis’ last 6 away games and we do see the visitors managing to score on Sunday but given they’ve also lost 9 of their last 12 home games; a 2-1 home win looks well on the cards.
