Leagues Cup: Tigres UANL vs. LAFC Picks — Mexicans to Maintain 100% Record? (Aug 5)

Tigres UANL have been one of the standout teams in the Leagues Cup so far this year, and they will be aiming to extend their 100% record when they conclude the opening round against LAFC on Tuesday.

Liga MX’s UANL have won each of their opening two matches in the league phase, scoring an impressive six goals and allowing just two. Their dominant start continued over the weekend, as Angel Correa netted twice in a 2-1 win over San Diego FC.

LAFC will require a minor miracle to reach the next round of the competition after failing to win in regulation time in their two matches. Last time out, they kept their hopes of progression alive with a penalty shootout success against Pachuca.

Tigres UANL vs. LAFC Picks

LAFC have been disappointing in the 2025 Leagues Cup, and this looks like a daunting challenge against the in-form Tigres.

The Mexican side will still require a win to guarantee their spot in the next round of the competition, and the recent form would suggest that they look more than capable of getting the result that they crave.
