CIUDAD DE MÉXICO - In a highly anticipated matchup of Jornada 14, América Femenil faces off against Tigres on Saturday, March 22, 2025. Both teams are vying for the second spot in the Liga MX Femenil standings, adding intensity to an already competitive season.
As it stands, América, under the guidance of Ángel Villacampa, occupies second place with 32 points, while Tigres trails closely behind in third with 29 points. However, América will be entering this critical clash without several key players due to injuries. The list of unavailable players includes Aylin Aviléz, Sandra Paños, Kiana Palacios, Sarah Luebbert, Kim Rodríguez, Jocelyn Orejel, and Priscila da Silva.
Tigres, coached by Pedro Losa, aims to capitalize on these absences to secure a victory that could push them above their rivals in the standings. The team has shown signs of resurgence following a shaky start to the season. Their recent performances suggest they are ready to reclaim their competitive edge, having recovered their winning form.
This match not only holds weight for league standings but also extends a budding rivalry between the two clubs, which has intensified recently. Last season, they encountered each other in the Semifinals of the Apertura 2024, where Tigres advanced based on their superior position in the table.
In their last five encounters, América has triumphed twice over Tigres, with the latter registering one win while the other two matches ended in draws. The balance of historical performance may predict a fiercely contested game this weekend.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Earlier in the week, Toluca delivered a major upset by defeating the previously undefeated Pachuca with a score of 3-2. Despite allowing two goals from Pachuca's top scorer Charlyn Corral, who found the net twice, Toluca's Michaela Abam, Mariel Román, and Shanice Van de Sanden showcased their skills to secure a crucial victory. This outcome has major implications for the standings as it put Pachuca’s lead at risk.
Pachuca, currently still at the top with 33 points, is now closely monitored as América could surpass that total depending on their performance against Tigres. The losses for Pachuca reflect the unpredictable nature of the league, where any can emerge victorious.
The showdown between America and Tigres promises to be a thrilling fixture for fans. It takes place at Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, under the lights starting at 20:10 hrs (Central Mexico Time). Viewers can catch the live broadcast on Canal 9, TUDN, VIX, and the Liga MX Femenil YouTube channel.
From the statistical standpoint, América boasts the best offense in the league, having netted 48 goals, while their defense has conceded just 8 goals – the fewest in the league. On the other hand, Tigres has also been a formidable defensive team, allowing only 10 goals this season.
The odds are also reflective of the competitive nature of this match. According to Caliente.MX, América is favored at -154 to win, followed by Tigres at +300, with the draw standing at +280.
As both teams gear up for this exciting match, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A win for América could assert their dominance in the league, while for Tigres, it’s an opportunity to climb up the ranks. Fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an electrifying encounter.
In addition to the América versus Tigres clash, the rest of the Jornada 14 schedule offers critical matchups. On March 20, Pachuca took on Toluca in a nail-biting affair that ended with Toluca triumphing over the previously unbeaten team, causing significant shifts in the overall rankings.
It remains to be seen how the results unfold this weekend, as the outcomes of these matches will be pivotal in determining playoff seeding and the eventual quest for the championship title.
