Tigres UANL vs Inter Miami: Leagues Cup Preview
Inter Miami will be hoping to secure their place in the Leagues Cup Round of 32 when they take on Liga MX side Tigres UANL on Saturday night at NRG Stadium. The two teams are set to face off in East Group 3 action, with both teams looking to advance to the knockout stage.
Tigres have had a flying start to the 2024 Liga MX Apertura season, winning three matches and drawing once to sit in third place in the table behind Pumas UNAM and Cruz Azul. They will kick off their Leagues Cup campaign on Wednesday night against Puebla, who fell to Miami 2-0 over the weekend.
Miami, on the other hand, got the better of Puebla last weekend to kick-off their Leagues Cup title defense with a 2-0 win at home in front of their supporters. Matias Rojas and Luis Suarez were on the scoresheet once again as the Herons secured three points without superstar Lionel Messi, who’s still nursing an ankle injury suffered in the Copa America final.

Tigres have a stronger squad than Miami, and it’ll be a close one at NRG Stadium with the Liga MX giants coming out on top. Miami’s lack of depth and injuries to key players like Messi and Serhiy Kryvtsov will make it tough for them to keep up with Tigres’ pace.
