Tigres UANL vs. America: Defending champion looking to return to form

Estadio Universitario is the location as Tigres host America in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final.

Defending champion Club America will be looking to put a league defeat behind it when las Agulias travel to Tigres UANL for the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final on Wednesday.

A 1-0 loss away to Queretaro saw second-placed America lose ground on league leaders Monterrey, which now holds a six-point advantage after 14 rounds in Liga MX.

America - which was crowned the Champions League winner for a sixth time last year when the tournament's former format is included - has lost its past two games against Tigres going into the all-Mexican decider.
