Tigres x Nashville in the return of the Concacaf Champions Cup semi-final

Tigres UANL hosts Nashville SC this Tuesday night at Estadio Universitario, in Monterrey, for the return game of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal. The Mexican team won the first game 1-0, with a goal from Ángel Correa, and plays with the aggregate advantage. A draw or simple victory guarantees a place in the final for the home team.

Nashville needs to win by at least two goals to advance in normal time. Caso scores just one, the decision goes to extra time and, if necessary, penalties. The American team travels without two important starters.

Tigres arrives with high morale at the packed stadium

Tigres is having a good time at home in the continental competition. The team has not lost in its home games at Champions Cup and has demonstrated defensive strength. The Guido Pizarro coach has the support of the fans at Universitario, which is usually full for decisive duels.

• Ángel Correa, scorer of the winning goal in the first game, should be the main attacking name
• Juan Brunetta and Diego Lainez offer mid-creation options
• Nahuel Guzmán remains a safe player in goal
• The defense with Jesús Angulo and teammates keeps the line high

The Mexican team comes from recent victories at Campeonato Mexicano and is the favorite to confirm the classification. The advantage of an away goal weighs heavily on the vacancy regulations.

Nashville seeks heroism without two key pieces

Nashville SC faces important absences. Center forward Sam Surridge and midfielder Edvard Tagseth did not travel due to injury. Coach B.J. Callaghan needs to reinvent the attack with Hany Mukhtar and Cristian Espinoza as references.

The American team leads the MLS Conferência Leste and showed competitiveness in the first game, despite the defeat. Agora, the mission is complicated against a solid Tigres at home. Nashville relies on the speed of players like Ahmed Qasem and Warren Madrigal to create danger in counterattacks.
