Tigres UANL/Tigres UANL
Coach Marco Antonio Ruiz’s boys can’t make any more mistakes if they want to lift the Clausura trophy as Monterrey are four points clear at the top now. The match versus Necaxa is a nice opportunity for the visitors to get much-needed three points and that’s exactly what this Necaxa vs Tigres UANL prediction is all about.
With four victories for Tigres UANL, five draws, and only one Necaxa win, it’s fair to say that even the home-field advantage won’t aid Necaxa in their attempt to escape 14th place.
Nicolas Ibanez to Score Anytime
With Andre-Pierre Gignac out injured, Nicolas Ibanez has been getting minutes and he’ll undoubtedly lead Tigres UANL’s attack on the 4th of March. He’s the focal point of attack, he’s on penalty duty for Tigres UANL, and he’s one of the best finishers in the league.
Nicolas Ibanez scored a total of 21 goals this season with Santos Laguna and Tigres UANL. The only player to outscore him is Club America’s Henry Martin who slid it past the goalkeeper on 23 occasions this season.

Necaxa odds: +365 – 20.0%
Draw odds: +260 – 26.0%
Tigres UANL odds: -125 – 54.0%
The likeliest outcome of this showdown is for Tigres UANL to win at -125 (54.0%). There’s a higher chance for a draw at +260 (26.0%) than for Necaxa to get the full set of points at +365 (20.0%) and that certainly backs up our Necaxa vs Tigres UANL prediction.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Necaxa
Heriberto Jurado received a red card in the 38th minute of the Queretaro game on the 25th of February. Even playing for an hour with one player less wasn’t enough for Necaxa to lose the game against Queretaro. But the fans were vocal about their disappointment in the 1-1 draw as they expected an effortless win over one of the weakest sides around.
Predicted lineup – Gonzalez (GK), Pena, Formiliano, Segovia, Oliveros, Esquivel, Batallini, Palma, Madrigal, Mendez & Silvera
Tigres UANL
With five victories, three draws, and one loss, Tigres UANL are in 3rd place and are slowly but steadily beginning to loosen their grip on the Clausura title. The loss that we mentioned came in the last fixture when Guadalajara pipped Tigres UANL 1-2 at Estadio Universitario in an ultra-defensive lineup. The game certainly didn’t provide any box-office Liga MX moments but it was a nice wake-up call for coach Marco Antonio Ruiz’s boys.
Predicted lineup – Guzman (GK), Garza, Reyes, Samir, Angulo, Carioca, Pizarro, Gorriaran, Cordova, Aquino & Ibanez

Player to Watch: Fernando Gorriaran
After swapping Santos Laguna for Tigres UANL, Fernando Gorriaran certainly had a few poor games. But with each passing week, the 28-year-old Uruguayan is performing better and better. The former Santos Laguna playmaker-in-chief certainly brought balance to the center of the park for Tigres UANL and we’re confident that with him on the pitch on Saturday, Tigres UANL shouldn’t have too many issues in securing the three points.
