The 2015-2016 CONCACAF Champions League group stage continues with a meeting between Mexico's Tigres UANL and El Salvador's AD Isidro Metapán in the second matchday of the tournament. The game is going to be held at Los Tigres' Estadio Universitario in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, Mexico on August 18.
It will be the Tigers' first game in this year's edition of this Caribbean, North and Central American competitions.
Their most recent contest was a 1-2 setback against Club León FC in the Liga MX on Thursday, via Soccerway. Midfielder Javier Aquino scored the lone goal for Los Felinos as they were unable to stop La Fiera in their home field of Estadio Nou Camp.
Meanwhile, Los Caleros had already played their first game of the tourney last August 6 versus Costa Rican team Club Sport Herediano, which they lost, 0-3, at the Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero in Heredia, Costa Rica.
But their last game was a goalless draw with CD Pasaquina in El Salvador's Primera División, as reported by Fussball.
The prediction is a 1-1 draw. Both teams have been struggling as of late and have played without wins to boot in their last five matches. Both of them are also going to play a game with their local leagues first on Sunday before their match on Tuesday. Those games may be vital to gain momentum for this encounter.
UANL starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Palos; Rivas, Jiménez, Briseño, Torres; Ríos, Aquino, Pizarro; Gignac, Sóbis, Damm
Isidro Metapán starting lineup (4-5-1 formation): Hernández; Molina, Álvarez, Gonzalez, Barrios; Suarez, Molinar, Salinas, Rosales, Flores; Leiva
