Bitesize Prediction: Tigres vs New York City – 14/08/24

Competition: Leagues Cup

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/6 @ BetUS

Two sides who will be looking to book their Leagues Cup quarter-final ticket in the early hours of Wednesday, New York City will travel to Tigres.

Starting with the hosts, getting the new Liga MX campaign off to a rampant start, Tigres have certainly come flying out of the traps. Mustering 10 points from their opening four domestic appearances, the Mexican heavyweights will be confident of making another statement here. Booking their knockout stage ticket on August 4th as they stormed their way to a 2-1 win against Inter Miami, Veljko Paunovic’s men have now won all of their last five matchups across all competitions by an aggregate score of 9-2. Heading into the Liga MX’s summer interval with a routine 3-0 victory away at Santos Laguna, Tigres will be excited by their extended success at the Estadio Universitario. Winning all of their first five showdowns in front of their own supporters since opening up the 2024 campaign, Wednesday’s hosts should be smelling a potential opportunity in midweek. However, it should be highlighted, Paunovic’s men have registered just a trio of clean sheets from their last 12 matchups in Nuevo Leon.

As for the visitors, although New York might have extended on their Leagues Cup adventure last weekend as they snatched a nail-biting penalties victory against New England, the Pigeons are seeking some much-needed stability. Just about dragging themselves to the knockout stage after getting hit with an action-packed 4-2 loss at the hands of Cincinnati on August 6th, Nick Cushing’s men have failed to win any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions within 90 minutes. Heading into the MLS’ summer break with a 1-1 stalemate against Orlando, Wednesday’s guests have also shown some extended defensive issues. Including a 2-1 defeat away at Austin last month, the Sky Blues have recorded just a trio of clean sheets from any of their previous 13 outings. It should also be noted, with Cushing’s side seeing all of their last four matchups away from the Yankee Stadium finish with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
