The Estadio Caliente opens Liga MX Round 1 with a clash that carries real edge: Tijuana haven't lost in five matches, while Tigres arrive missing four players including Gorriaran and Ozziel Herrera. The Xolos are unbeaten across their last five outings - three wins, two draws, zero defeats - and they took Tigres down 1-0 at home just back in April.
The head-to-head record across four meetings is perfectly split: two wins apiece, zero draws, and crucially zero BTTS in all four games. Tigres are without a win in their last Liga MX away fixture (lost 0-2 to Chivas). Tijuana have scored in 4 of their last 5 and conceded in 4 of 5, showing they can hurt teams. The books price the home win at 3.6 - that's value when this team hasn't lost in five.
I'm taking Tijuana to win at 3.6. The injuries to Tigres' midfield and the Xolos' unbeaten run make this price too generous. Swings come with this kind of bet, but the setup is right.
