Clash of Titans: América vs. Tigres Rekindle Rivalry
28 Feb
Summary
- América and Tigres, top clubs of the last 15 years, meet Saturday.
- Both teams need a win to improve standings in Clausura 2026.
- Key players like Zendejas and Gignac may feature in the match.

Club América will host Tigres on Saturday night, renewing a significant rivalry between two of Liga MX's most successful clubs over the past 15 years. Tigres have claimed five titles since 2015, with América securing four in the same period. Both teams are currently in seventh and eighth place in the Clausura 2026 standings, facing pressure to secure a victory. América, coming off a strong 4-0 win, appears confident, especially with new signings integrated. Tigres, however, are experiencing a dip in form, having lost their last two matches. Their confidence is low heading into this challenging away game in Mexico City. Key player updates include U.S. international Alejandro Zendejas potentially returning for América in a limited role. Tigres will be without defender Joaquim due to suspension, but Juan Brunetta is expected to play. Veteran striker André-Pierre Gignac might make an appearance in what could be his final rivalry match.
