The Leagues Cup Round of 32 continues on Friday night with a fascinating clash between Tigres and the Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place.
Reigning Liga MX champions Tigres came into this tournament as one of the favourites and they have not disappointed so far. Robert Siboldi’s team picked up wins over the Portland Timbers and San Jose to set up a tie with Vancouver. Tigres won the CONCACAF Champions League in 2020 and they will be hoping to triumph again in this continental competition.
The Whitecaps do not boast the same historical successes as Friday’s opponents but they are on course for one of their best seasons in MLS. The Canadian side are currently in seventh in the Western Conference and have lost just two of their last eight MLS fixtures.

Tigres vs Vancouver prediction
On paper this game should be a straight-forward win for the Mexican champions but Vancouver have showed that they can cause an upset against strong opposition. The Canadian side have scored at least two goals in each of their last five games and we think they’ll get on the scoresheet against Tigres.
