TIG vs LAF Dream11: Odds are stacked against Los Angeles FC heading into the CONCACAF Champions League final match against Tigres UANL. But the MLS outfit was in a similar position on many occasions in the tournament when they faced teams with bigger profile and experience of playing in a big tournament like this.
That LAFC came out unscathed from hose big matches and sent three Mexican sides packing home in the earlier rounds, shows that this club, which came into existent only in 2014, has come a long way.
Tigres UNAL must not be short of motivation either, to play out of their skins in this season-defining game. After all, their Liga MX season was cut short at the quarter-finals stage with the team losing 1-3 on aggregate against Cruz Azul.
The CONCACAF Champions League final match will be played at Exploria Stadium on Wednesday morning (IST). Here is TIG vs LAF Dream 11 Match Prediction.
Fixture Name And Competition: Tigres UANL vs Los Angeles FC: North American Champions League
Date & Time: 08:30 AM (IST), 23 December
Venue: Exploria Stadium
Recent form:
Tigres UANL: As mentioned above, Tigres were knocked out of Apertura quarterfinals by Cruz Azul. UANL left themselves with too much to do in the second leg, which they won 1-0 eventually, after losing the first leg 1-3.
But the team can still end the season with a bang, with the biggest trophy in South American club football dangling over their shoulders. So far, they have looked relentless, winning the last two rounds by a combined seven-goal margin, keeping shut outs in both.
Los Angeles FC: Bob Bradley’s team has exceeded expectations so far. But the 3-1 win over the mighty Club America in the semi-final was far-fetched even for the most optimistic supporters of this team. The MLS outfit also beat another LIGA MX side Cruz Azul in the quarterfinals.

Julián Quiñones is out for long-term with a grade one tear in his right rear thigh. He won’t be available for TIG vs OLI Dream11 Team Prediction.
Ecuadorian Jordan Sierra failed to make the cut due to varicocele (inflammation in the testicles).
In addition, Patrick Ogama Vendrechovskiis is recovering from a grade one tear in the left rear thigh. He was initially on the 25-man roster to play in the Concacaf Quarterfinals but has since been removed from the squad.
The following players have been called for the Concacaf Champions League:

Expected changes: Coaches tend to be reluctant to make changes in the team in the later stages. But it Ferretti’s hands are cuffed to some extent due to the knocks suffered by Aquino and Gignac in the last game. If the duo is available, Tigres should be more or less the same from the last match.
That said, Nicolas Lopez is an option to play in TIG vs LAF Dream11 Team Prediction match if any of the duo is not deemed fit for this clash.

Goals: 09
Assists: 02
Passing: 89%
X-factors, differential picks
Javier Aquino: He is with the Tigres since 2015, and has amassed 26 goals in 189 appearances. But it’s not just the goals but his overall output, tackling and passing range, that makes him an indispensable player in this team.
Games: 23
Goals: 01
Assists: 05
Passing: 90%
Diego Rossi: Can pick a pass from the midfield and set his teammates through at the goal. But he is always a threat in front of the goal. He is a no-nonsense captain option in Dream 11 prediction teams.
