Chivas Host Tigres in Rescheduled Liga MX Opener as Gignac Misses Trip

Tigres can move up to third place with a win at Estadio Akron.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for approximately 19:05 CT in Zapopan, with exclusive streaming in Mexico on Amazon Prime Video.
  • Tigres confirmed André-Pierre Gignac did not travel due to a right knee contusion, and Juan Sánchez Purata is unavailable after his red card against León.
  • Chivas are buoyed by their Clásico victory over América but are set to be without Roberto Alvarado due to an ankle issue.
  • Pre-match lineups were released, and teammate Juan Brunetta publicly lauded Ángel Correa’s impact since arriving this summer.
  • Media reports list conflicting goal totals for Correa across competitions, even as Tigres sit fifth on 14 points and have not lost at Estadio Akron since 2019.
