Tigres UANL Faces Daunting Challenge Against América in Clausura 2025

MONTERREY, Mexico — Tigres UANL enters a crucial matchup against América on March 29, 2025, during the thirteenth round of the Clausura 2025 tournament, seeking to end a five-year winless streak on the road against the Águilas. The game will take place at the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium, where both teams are determined to secure critical points.
América currently leads the standings with 27 points and is looking for a victory to maintain its top position. In contrast, Tigres sits in third place with 25 points. A win for Tigres could elevate them to first place, contingent on León‘s performance against Pumas.
However, the task for coach Guido Pizarro’s team is complicated by a dismal record in recent years at Coapa. Tigres has failed to secure a single point in its last six visits. Their last victory at this venue dates back to the Apertura 2019 quarter-finals, where they narrowly won 2-1, although América ultimately progressed with a 4-2 aggregate score.
Pizarro has overseen Tigres in two matches this season, securing a 1-0 win against Querétaro and a dominant 3-0 victory over Santos. His current lineup seeks to maintain momentum following a strong start.
On the other hand, América’s performance at home has been solid, with only one loss in the current tournament. They come off a convincing 3-1 win against Atlas, setting the stage for an exciting clash.
The match not only represents a potential turning point for the Tigres, who have struggled against América, but also serves as a pivotal moment for their fans, yearning to see the team break the curse. Since that victory in 2019, Tigres has managed to win just once out of 14 matches against América, a record that through the past three years has left fans frustrated.
As fans eagerly await the outcome, the question remains: can Tigres UANL overcome their historical challenges and claim all three points from the Ciudad de los Deportes? The answer will unfold this Saturday.
