Despite five matches without a victory, Tuzos are staying calm ahead of Wednesday's second leg against Tigres because of two major factors.
The two most recent Liga MX champions may not make the upcoming playoffs. Tigres, the reigning champion, and Pachuca, which won the 2016 Clausura, are struggling in the league. Despite having talented teams that look similar to the groups that won the title, they haven't been able to find consistent success this tournament.
None of that matters Wednesday night.
With the aggregate score level at 1-1, both teams now have their full attention on the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final.
