Tigres' sample over the same stretch shows five wins, nine draws and six losses, with 23 scored and 24 conceded. They draw an awful lot of games, which fits a side that's hard to beat but not banging in goals either.
Tigres look more stubborn than dangerous, while Pumas have shown they can win and lose in equal measure.

There's no real pattern of one side dominating at this venue. Scorelines have swung from heavy wins to goalless stalemates, so past meetings don't point clearly one way.
The head-to-head record doesn't hand either team a psychological edge.
Where they stand
Pumas are 12th with 12 points from nine games, while Tigres sit down in 16th on seven points from the same number of matches. That's a five point gap, but neither side is exactly flying.

| 11 | CF Pachuca | 9 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 15/10 | 12 |

| 17 | Santos Laguna | 9 | 2 | 1 | 6 | 9/15 | 7 |
This is only a slice of the table showing these two clubs, so we can't say how the rest of the division looks. Still, on what's here, Pumas have the slightly healthier record with three wins, three draws and three defeats against Tigres' single win in nine.
Pumas have the better underlying numbers this season, though the gap isn't huge.

Players to watch
Juninho has been Pumas' most productive forward with four goals in nine appearances, while Tigres lean on R. Aguirre up front with three goals in eight games and J. Brunetta supplying four assists.
A couple of players, D. Lainez for Tigres and A. Carrasquilla for Pumas, have picked up red cards already this season. That's worth noting, but with the fixture still a month away from when this data was gathered, it doesn't tell us who'll actually be available on the day.

Pumas have the better points tally so far, but Tigres' habit of drawing games and the tight history between these two make this a genuinely hard one to call.
Without any market to weigh up, and with the fixture still some weeks off, we're happy to sit this one out rather than force a pick.
