Queretaro FC vs Tigres UANL Prediction: Can Tigres Carry the Momentum from CONCACAF League Forward?

In the upcoming fixture of Liga Mexico, Matchday 15, Queretaro FC will be up against Tigres UANL at the Estadio Corregidora in Santiago de Querétaro. Going in the matchup, Queretaro stands 12th with 3 wins and 16 points, whereas Tigres UANL stands 7th with 6 wins and 21 points. The two sides squared off previously in July 2022, and Tigres won (2-1). Tigres UANL has dominated and won against Queretaro in the last five consecutive matches. Moving forward in the upcoming contest, Tigres UANL will be hoping to deliver consistent performance and secure three important win points. 

Going in the matchup, Queretaro is coming off a win against Club Tijuana (1-2), in which Jose Zuniga and Angel Sepulveda scored goals. Coach Mauro Gerk was spot-on in calling the shots and assisting his teams in getting over the line. With Sepulveda and Zuniga leading the attack, Queretaro will be feeling confident for the upcoming outing against Tigres. However, they will need to improve their ball possession, as in the last match, they had a possession of just 35%. From the last five matches played, Queretaro has scored 7 goals and conceded 7 goals. In 4 of the last 5 matches played, Queretaro has conceded goals. Hence, the home side will be shaping up to minimize the scoring from Tigres’ end early in the contest. When playing at home in the last 10 home matches, Queretaro averages 1.40 goals. Compared to the scoring average, the conceding average is 1.60 goals. Hence, Queretaro is likely to concede at least a goal or more.

Going in the contest, Tigres UANL is coming off a robust win against CD Motagua (5-0), in which Andre-Pierre, Luis Quinones, Jesus Angulo, and Nicolas Ibanez scored goals. With just 2 wins in the last 5 matches played, Tigres will be looking to secure a comprehensive win against Queretaro. Considering the overall form of Tigres, the upcoming match will be of high value for the visitors. Tigres has managed to score 9 goals in the last five matches, averaging 1.80 goals per game. Compared to the scoring average, the conceding average is 1.20 goals (6 goals in the last 5 matches). With Andres-Pierre leading the goal-scoring count by 6 goals and Luis Quinones providing top assists in the game, the upcoming matchup is likely to have an exciting end. In the last 10 away matches, Tigres has maintained a scoring average of 1.80 goals and a conceding average of just 0.90 goals. Irrespective of the recent inconsistent match form, Tigres has certainly delivered decent performances in away fixtures.

Queretaro is delivering decent performances in recent matches; however, its striking rate isn’t stronger compared to Tigres in away matches. On the basis of scoring and conceding averages, I am backing Tigres to win the upcoming outing. Secondly, Tigres is coming off a clean-sheet win in the CONCACAF quarter-finals, which will boost their confidence ahead of the upcoming fixture. I am predicting only Tigres to score and the match total to be under 2.5 goals. The final scoreline is likely to be 0-2 at the end of 90 minutes of play.

• Tigres UANL to Win for 1.80
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.9
• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.962
