More on line for Tigres, Monterrey than just Clasico Regio bragging rights

The Clasico Regio has, in recent years, been a battle between two competitive teams. The rivalry is fierce, with both Tigres and Monterrey wanting control of the city. With no geographic divide in the city, the days following this weekend's match will be filled with neighbors treating neighbors to tacos, friends buying a friend a caguama or just money trading hands with everyone wagering their team will be the one who brings home three points.

It's not the biggest derby in the past few years - the December 2017 meetings with a title on the line for the first time in history will long be remembered as the most important clashes in the 44-year history with 1996's 51st meeting that sent Tigres down also still remembered.
