In what could be a preview of the 2016 Clausura Liguilla final, Tigres UANL host Leon on Saturday.
Both clubs enter Week 4 riding momentous form. Leon are one of only two teams -- along with Monterrey -- who carry an unblemished record into the weekend. Victories over Cruz Azul, Veracruz and Santos Laguna have stretched the club to a perfect nine points.
Tigres UANL got off to a less-than-perfect start to the campaign -- losing 1-0 to Toluca -- but have since righted the ship with a victory and draw in consecutive weeks.

What They're Saying
Tigres UANL winger Damian Alvarez (via Esto): "Leon aren't the type to sit back and defend. They know how to attack and they know how to do it well. They have won all their games, so we shouldn't keep ourselves unprotected [in the back] because it's not going to work out for us."
Leon midfielder Maxi Moralez (via Esto): "The manager decides [whether I play or not]. I played 90 minutes in [Copa MX] and almost 70 minutes in the league. Little by little, I'm gaining my rhythm. I still have some things to learn, but the manager decides whether I play or not."
Note: Manager Juan Antonio Pizzi won't be making decisions on Moralez anymore. He decided to be the next head coach of the Chile national team, per ESPN.
