Sun Mar 30 00:20:00 UTC 2025: ## América Favored Against Tigres in Crucial Clausura 2025 Matchup

**MEXICO CITY** – The upcoming match between Club América and Tigres UANL in the 13th round of the Clausura 2025 tournament is being touted as a new “Clásico Nacional” by ESPN Deportes analyst Alvarito. The game, set for the Estadio Azteca, pits the league-leading América (27 points) against third-place Tigres (25 points) in a clash that could significantly alter the top of the table.

América, the three-time defending Mexican champion, enters as the favorite. A victory would solidify their position at the top. However, Tigres, under the helm of manager Guido Pizarro, have a chance to leapfrog América with a win, provided that second-place León does not win against Pumas.

The match holds added significance for Tigres, who are on a five-year losing streak against América in Coapa. Their last away win against América was in the Apertura 2019 quarterfinals (2-1), a victory ultimately overshadowed by América’s 4-2 comeback win in the second leg. Since then, Tigres have suffered six consecutive defeats at the Estadio Azteca.

Tigres will be looking to build on their recent momentum, having won their last two games against Querétaro (1-0) and Santos (3-0) under Pizarro’s management. América, meanwhile, are coming off a 3-1 victory against Atlas and have only suffered one home defeat this season. The match promises to be a highly anticipated encounter.
