However, recent results have been lacking in terms of attacking prowess, with an average of just under one goal per match. Their last encounter with Necaxa ended in a goalless draw.
Although the first match ended scoreless, Tigres should be grateful for that outcome. Their opponents dominated, creating numerous scoring opportunities.

Necaxa are in a mixed form, showcasing impressive goal-scoring stats over their last 10 matches, averaging nearly two goals per game. However, their defense often falters, conceding over one and a half goals per match on average. Historically, they struggle against Tigres on the road, as evidenced by recent head-to-head statistics.
It feels like they missed their chance to advance in the home leg, failing to score despite dominating the match (23 shots on goal, 8 on target with an xG of 1.72-0.31). On the flip side, such a significant advantage hints at good form, so while Necaxa's chances are slimmer, they shouldn't be written off just yet.

Editorial Prediction
Based on the current form of the teams and their head-to-head history, a total under 3.5 goals appears to be a reasonable option for this match. However, we believe that backing the home side is a better bet. Tigres are likely to capitalize on Necaxa's need to frequently attack (as only a victory suits them), which will leave their defense exposed. This vulnerability will be their downfall. Supported by their fans, the "Tigers" will dismantle their opponents on the counterattack. Recommended bet - Tigres win.
