4 Oct
Summary
- Two-point gap separates 4th-place Cruz Azul and 5th-place Tigres
- Tigres undefeated in nearly two months, Cruz Azul lost last match
- Teams last met in May 2022, with Cruz Azul winning
On Saturday, October 5th, 2025, two of Mexico's Liga MX giants, Tigres UANL and Cruz Azul, will square off in a highly anticipated showdown at the Estadio Universitario. The two teams are separated by just two points in the league standings, with Cruz Azul currently in fourth place and Tigres in fifth.
Tigres, led by head coach Guido Pizarro in his first term, have been on a strong run of form, remaining undefeated for nearly two months. They are just three points off the top of the Apertura table and will be looking to close the gap with a win over their rivals. Cruz Azul, on the other hand, suffered a crushing defeat in their last outing against Tijuana, pushing them away from the top spots in the league.
The last time these two teams met was during the Clausura season in May 2022, when Cruz Azul emerged victorious. However, Cruz Azul has struggled to find success at the Estadio Universitario, losing twice and drawing once in their last three visits. They will be determined to break that duck and push their name back into the equation for the Liga MX title.
With both teams vying for a spot in the playoffs and the top of the table, this weekend's clash promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of Mexico's most formidable sides.
