Tigres is set to play against Forge FC on Tuesday, aiming to secure their place in the next round of the Champions Cup 2026 at Estadio Universitario. After a scoreless draw in Canada, the team, managed by Guido Pizarro, is under pressure to win the match to avoid extra time or penalties. A goal from Forge FC would require Tigres to win by at least two goals, adding to the challenge ahead.

The Canadian team, coached by Bobby Smyrniotis, achieved a historic draw against Tigres, marking the first time they were able to avoid defeat against a Mexican club in a Concacaf competition. This gives Forge FC a psychological edge, as they will be looking to capitalize on any lapses in Tigres' performance. Meanwhile, Tigres comes into the match riding a wave of confidence after an impressive 5-1 victory over Santos Laguna in the Liga MX Clausura 2026, which has bolstered their morale heading into this crucial international fixture.

Guido Pizarro's side needs to maintain this momentum and translate their domestic success into a positive result in the Champions Cup to progress, highlighting the importance of this match not only for their tournament aspirations but also to establish dominance once more in North American club football. Fans at the Volcán will certainly hope for a victory to ensure Tigres can continue their journey in the prestigious competition with a strong statement against Forge FC.
