The actions of the Liga MX 2022 closing tournament continue, in which we have surprises-both at the top of the standings and the bottom. Puebla, Pachuca, and Tigres are dominating the standings showing an impeccable level of play. While two teams that we are used to seeing fighting for first place every season, América and Santos, are in the last two places in the table.
This Sunday ended day 7 of action and the tournament is lived in the same way as it began, with a dominance of the first three teams, while the rest seek to get their best form to fight for the positions that give the quota for the next Liguilla.

The best team of the tournament, Puebla receives Juarez at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium in this matchday 8 of the Liga MX that will be played during the week.
Puebla has shown that their level of play is at its maximum capacity and that is why they are in first place in the standings, with a very good record of 5 wins and 2 draws. While Juarez has not yet achieved the rhythm necessary to acquire a winning streak that will take them on the path of victory and, thus, be able to climb positions in the table.
Puebla comes from two consecutive victories, the first against Monterrey with a score of 1-0 and the second against Guadalajara with a tight score of 3-2.
Juarez for their part comes from losing in their last game with a score of 2-3 against Tigres UANL.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Puebla. If you put $100 on Puebla at -135 you’ll be looking at a $74.07 win with a total payout of $174.07.
Juarez vs. Puebla Betting Pick: Puebla.
Atlas vs. Pachuca
When: Wednesday, March 02 at 08:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Pachuca +220 / Atlas +126 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Draw Offs: +220

One of the best matches that we can enjoy on this day of Liga MX is, without a doubt, this one between Pachuca and Atlas, which will be played this Wednesday, March 02, 2022, at the Jalisco Stadium, home of Atlas.
Pachuca, like Puebla and Tigres, is one of the best teams in this closing tournament and their results have shown it. Pachuca currently ranks second in the table with a record of 5 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, just 1 point behind Puebla.
For its part, we have Atlas, another of the teams that in recent seasons has shown that its level of play is at its maximum capacity and has managed to be among the finalists in different tournaments. Atlas is in fifth place in the table, with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, with 12 points, 5 from first place.
Pachuca comes 3 wins in the last 4 games, the last one against Mazatlan with a score of 3-1.
Atlas, for their part, started this closing tournament excellently with 2 wins and 1 draw, but they have fallen into an offensive slump and come to this match with two draws and 1 loss in their last 3 games.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Atlas. If you put $100 on Atlas at +126 you’ll be looking at a $126 win with a total payout of $226.
Pachuca vs. Atlas Betting Pick: Atlas.
Tigres vs. Cruz Azul
When: Wednesday, March 02 at 08:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Tigres +110 / Cruz Azul +250 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Draw Offs: +225

Another of the highlights that we will have on day 8 of the Liga MX closing tournament is Tigres vs. Cruz Azul, which will be played this Wednesday, March 2, 2022, at the University Stadium, home of Tigres.
Cruz Azul is the only one of the great teams of recent seasons that has had a good start to the 2022 closing tournament. They are currently fourth in the standings, with a record of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses.
Cruz Azul had a very good start to the season, with two consecutive victories, but their performance has dropped considerably in their last 3 games, in which they have registered 2 losses and 1 victory. The most worrying thing for Cruz Azul is that they were dominated by Santos Laguna at their worst moment in many years.
While Tigres, the team with the best news at this point in the season, comes into this game with an excellent streak of 5 consecutive wins, which makes them tied for second place in points with Pachuca. Tigres’ pending task at this time is, without a doubt, its defensive actions, since it is one of the teams that has received the most goals in these first 7 games.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Tigres. If you put $100 on Tigres at +110 you’ll be looking at a $110 win with a total payout of $210.
Tigres vs. Cruz Azul Betting Pick: Tigres.
Santos vs. Pumas
When: Wednesday, March 02 at 10:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Santos +107 / Pumas +265 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Draw Offs: +220

Although there are matches between teams that are at their highest competitive level on matchday 08 of the Liga MX closing tournament, we will have this one between Pumas and Santos Laguna, which, although they are not at their best moment of the season, are teams who know that they must win all the remaining games if they want to fight to be in the next Liguilla.
This match between Santos and Pumas will be played this Wednesday, March 02, 2022, at the Corona Stadium, home of Santos.
Santos Laguna, surprisingly, has started this opening tournament very badly. They are currently in last place in the standings, with a terrible record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 4 losses, with only 5 points out of a possible 21.
While Pumas has been intermittent in their matches, their offense has left them out of getting points, since they could not define the games. Pumas is in sixth place in the table, with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, 5 points behind first place.
Pumas need to get back to winning ways to climb up the table, while Santos Laguna must build on the momentum of their latest win against Cruz Azul to come off the bottom of the table and fight in the middle zone.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Santos. If you put $100 on Santos at +107 you’ll be looking at a $107 win with a total payout of $207.
