Tigres enter this match having had nearly two weeks of rest, with their most recent match coming on April 27 in Liga MX. Monterrey has had a week to think about a painful home elimination against the Columbus Crew in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal.
Despite their lengthy break, Tigres will still enter this match shorthanded, as David Ayala, Diego Reyes, Eduardo Tercero, Guido Pizarro, Juan Pablo Vigón, Jonathan Herrera and Sebastián Córdova are all out.
The winner of this tie will move into the semifinal, where they’ll face either América or Pachuca.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
