Game Preview

Cruz Azul

The hosts are two points shy of the top spot in the table. Joel Huiqui’s boys have three straight wins and look great, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Cruz Azul has scored two or more goals in 5 straight Liga MX matches, and it’s safe to say that the offense is their biggest weapon.

La Maquina has two players with 5 goals – Nicolas Ibanez and Gabriel Fernandez, who we need to say, are the driving force of the attacking core.

Club Leon

Mixed results are the main characteristic of La Fiera these days. The team from Leon has 4 wins, three ties, and two defeats through 8 rounds, yet it’s still in the playoff zone.

What is consistent in their performances is the efficiency, which is moderate, at 2 or 3 goals. That happened in 6 of their 8 domestic appearances.
