The regular season of the Apertura MX 2023 is ending, and the teams are preparing to fight for the last 3 points available.
This means that this weekend, all teams will play their last games of this regular season. As a result, this is the last chance for many of them to get into the playoffs.
On the one hand, America secured first place a long time ago. On the other, Pumas, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Tigres have also ensured that they will finish in the top six of the table, regardless of what happens on matchday 17.
As a result, San Luis, Tijuana, Toluca, Leon, and Santos are in the fight for the last direct place in the Liguilla. At the same time, almost all the other teams in the league have a chance to advance to the playoffs. This makes us confident that we will have a spectacular end to the season this weekend.
Next, we will preview the best games of this 17th matchday of the Liga MX Apertura Tournament with their respective odds and our free predictions.

San Luis assured, at least, to finish the regular season inside the playoff zone since, with 23 points, Mazatlan can’t catch them in the table. However, the team can advance directly to the Liguilla if they get three points this matchday and could even overtake Pumas for fifth place.
Right now, San Luis has a 7-2-7 record, with 23 points from 48 played and an excellent scoring record of 31 goals scored. It is also worth mentioning that they have 3 losses and 1 draw in its last 4 games, the last of which was a 2-2 against Tigres.

On the other hand, we have Santos Laguna, a team playing for its life on this last matchday of the regular season of the Liga MX opening tournament 2023. Right now, Santos is tenth in the standings, i.e., the last playoff spot, with a 6-2-7 record.
However, the ‘Comarca’ must win this game, as a loss could eliminate them from the championship altogether. Even Querétaro (15th in the table) can overtake them if they fail to win.
Santos is coming off an excellent win against Toluca at home, scoring 3-1.
We expect San Luis to respect its home condition for this match to take the 3 points.
San Luis vs. Santos Betting Pick: San Luis

Querétaro comes into this matchday with the firm conviction of making their home ground respected and taking the 3 points that will allow them to climb up to the playoff positions. However, the team has a problem, and that is that they do not depend on themselves.
Even if they win this match, they will have to wait for the results of the rest of the games of the day to find out if they are in the top ten of the table. Right now, ‘Los Gallos’ are in 15th place in the table with 18 points, only 2 behind León in ninth place.
Querétaro is coming off an excellent away win over Juárez with a 3-0 score.

On the other hand, Rayados is one of the teams that arrived at this round 17 calm after securing their place in the top six of the table. As a result, they secured their direct place in the next Liguilla.
Likewise, Monterrey has the chance to finish the regular season in second place in the table, giving them the advantage in the matches of the next phase of the championship.
Monterrey is also in a great moment and has everything they need to take the 3 points in their visit to the Corregidora.
For this match, our prediction is a win for Rayados.
Querétaro vs. Monterrey Betting Pick: Monterrey
Apertura MX 2023 Matchday 17 – Tigres vs. América – Info
When:
Saturday, November 11 at 10:10 pm ET at Estadio Universitario
Moneyline odds:
Tigres +131
América +190
Draw Offs:
+241

For the first time in the tournament, Tigres UANL arrived at this matchday immersed in a somewhat complicated situation, as they had two consecutive matches without a win. However, the team remains in second place, with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 3 defeats.
Like América and Monterrey, this team has already secured its place in the Liguilla. However, they know they can finish in second place in the table, giving them a home advantage in the tournament’s next stage.
On the other hand, it is fair to mention that Tigres has one more game than Monterrey, so it is not up to them to finish in second place in the table.
–
Club América, on the other hand, is the best team by far in this 2023 Liga MX opening tournament. America crushed all their opponents throughout the season, especially in the second half.
Time ago, the club from the Mexican capital secured first place in the standings, as they are 10 points ahead of Tigres and Monterrey, their closest pursuers.
The fact that none of the teams have anything important at stake this matchday leads us to believe they will play with many substitute players. However, based on their current level of play and confidence, our prediction is a win for América.
