The Liga MX Clausura 2025 season is heating up as Tigres UANL prepares to host Mazatlan FC on matchday two. The clash is expected to be exciting as both teams aim to establish themselves early in the tournament. Tigres, fresh off a decisive 3-1 victory against Atletico San Luis, is hungry to consolidate its strong start. On the other hand, Mazatlan, who managed only a draw against Juarez, is eager to earn its first win of the season.
The match is scheduled for Friday, January 17, with kickoff set for 8:00 PM Eastern Time at the Estadio Universitario, known informally as ‘El Volcan’. For fans hoping to catch the action from home, it will be broadcast live on Fubo, with additional coverage available on FOX Deportes and DirecTV Stream.
After returning from their previous match, Tigres demonstrated their intent by not only securing three points but also showcasing the depth of their squad. Key players like Diego Lainez, Guido Pizarro, and Fernando Gorriarán each made significant contributions to the score line against San Luis. Lainez was particularly impressive, netting one of the goals, as the team exhibited their offensive prowess.
On the flip side, Mazatlan FC aims to recover from their slow start. The team, managed by Victor Manuel Vucetich, is looking to improve upon last season's struggles where they finished low on the points table. Their opening match against Juarez resulted in a 1-1 draw, where Mauro Lainez scored the equalizer. With new signings and strategic adjustments, Mazatlan is optimistic about grabbing their first win of the tournament.
