Tigres is gearing up to return to Liga MX action this Sunday when they visit Cruz Azul, and all indications suggest that Rodrigo Aguirre will be starting as the center forward. Aguirre, nicknamed 'El Búfalo', recently made his debut for the club last Tuesday during a Concachampions match against Forge FC, where he notably scored two goals in a 4-1 victory. This upcoming match will mark his first appearance in the local tournament, facing off against a strong contender for the title in the Clausura 2026.

The match between Tigres, known as the Auriazules, and Cruz Azul, referred to as La Máquina, is set for 16:30 on Sunday, February 15, at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla. This will be a critical encounter as both teams vie for positioning in the league standings. Currently, Tigres holds second place with 10 points and a +5 goal difference, while Cruz Azul is equal on points but has a goal difference of +3, making this match crucial for both sides in their pursuit of the championship.

Tigres has been training diligently in preparation for the match, with player Guido Pizarro taking part in the team's practice sessions at their training facility, CET. The anticipation surrounding Aguirre’s participation as a starting player adds to the excitement of this high-stakes matchup, underscoring the importance of each point in the league as the season progresses.
