Tigres-Pachuca

This is pending duel from round 11 of Clausura that was suspended by the climatic problems that forced Pachuca play their game against Houston one day later.


Tigres is 3th in Group 3 with 18 pts so if they win tomorrow they are going to be takeover Pumas on the second place. Tigers are battling in Clausura2007, suffering injuries, they are losing lots of games and they have problems with scoring goals only 12 in 13 games they are having second worst attack in the league only Veracruz is worst with two goals less.

The problem is that Francisco Fonseca has not been able to retake his level, and other players like Fabian Cubero, who accumulating two expulsions and injury, has been more time outside the fields that inside. Great part of the loss of game of the Tigers occurs by the absence of the Argentinean Walter Gaitán, who also are lost games first by suspension and soon by injury.
For this game Mario Carrillo will play 4-4-2 and he has all the players’ avaible.

Pachuca is the first team that is classified to the Liguilla they are 1st in group 2 with 30 pts if they get at least a point in this game they will first place in a sector if they win in this game they would even be 3 points short to assure Superliderato.They are having best attack and best difence in the league. In last four games they score 15 goals .In last round against Jaguares"Chaco" Giménez rotate some of the starters becouse they war playing in CONCACAF just two days before and again they won 3-0
