Player to watch: Andre-Pierre Gignac

There’s no way Gignac is sitting on the bench for this one. His manager knows that there’s a lot at stake in the round-of-16 battle against the MLS side. He’ll need the 37-year-old veteran among the starters in order to prove our Tigres UANL vs New York City predictions correct.

Second player to watch: Nicolas Ibanez

In case Gignac doesn’t have a good day, coach Paunovic has tremendous Ibanez at his disposal. The latter is the 2nd-best finisher for Tigres UANL in Liga MX, with two goals since the start of the 2024/25 Liga MX campaign.
