Cruz Azul receives Tigres this Thursday, May 12th, for the first leg of the Liga MX quarter-finals. The team led by Juan Reynoso has advanced from the repechage round after defeating Necaxa on Saturday, May 7th, in a penalty shootout. Although they have less rest time than their rivals, they will try to make their home advantage count.
On the other hand, the university team did not participate in the repechage zone and has been without matches for more than two weeks. This is because they finished in second place in the table and earned the right to directly qualify for this tournament stage. Check here the possible line-ups for the match.
