Pumas might feel their prize for a third-place finish is unjust as they face their personal bogey team Tigres in the Quarterfinals of the 2018 Liga MX Apertura. Pumas will have their work cut out against a Tigres team that finished the regular season on the ascendancy and with star striker Andre-Pierre Gignac wining the golden boot.
While this is a third vs. sixth match in the Liguilla, it should be the one in which the team with the worst record is the most favored out of all the Liguilla Quarterfinal match ups. It’s not just that Tigres have a strong squad and veteran coach in Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti, but historically they have done well in the Liguilla against Pumas.
