The Seattle Sounders have travelled to Monterrey, Mexico, for a Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal clash with Tigres UANL. This marks their first visit to Monterrey since 2013. The Sounders enter the match riding a six-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, including two wins against the Vancouver Whitecaps in the CCC Round of 16. Notably, this will be the Sounders’ eighth consecutive match played away from Lumen Field.
Previous Encounters and Current Form
This will be the fourth time the Sounders have faced Tigres in competition. The Sounders won their previous quarterfinal matchup against Tigres 3-2 on aggregate in 2013, and followed that up with a 3-0 win over them in the 2021 Leagues Cup quarterfinals.
Tigres’ form has been uneven recently. The Liga MX contenders are 2-4-1 over their past seven matches across all competitions, including consecutive losses to Juarez and Tijuana in league play. Tigres currently occupy the final Liguilla spot, sitting just one point ahead of No. 9 Necaxa. They also have a match against Liga MX leaders Chivas looming on Saturday.
