Apertura MX 2024 Matchday 6 Betting Favorites

The emotions of Liga MX continue this weekend when the teams are ready to fight for the 3 points in the matches that correspond to matchday 6 of this Torneo Apertura 2024.

With each passing day, the fight is getting better at the top of the Liga MX standings. Cruz Azul dominates the classification with Monterrey, with 13 points. However, the Cementeros have to their credit one less game played, so they are ahead in the table and have some advantage over their rivals.

Then, we have a tie with 11 points between Toluca, Tigres, Atlas, and Tijuana, who have also had a great start to the tournament but need to be more decisive if they want to continue fighting to be at the top of the table. The most surprising thing till now is the absence of América in this fight, as they had a torrid start to the season.

Below, we bring you the preview of the best matches we can enjoy on this matchday 6 of the Apertura 2024 of Liga MX, with their respective betting odds and our free predictions.

Apertura MX 2024 Matchday 6: Tijuana vs. León

Tijuana is one of the teams that has gotten off to a great start in the Liga MX Apertura 2024. Right now, they are in sixth place in the standings, with a record of three wins, two ties, and one loss. In addition, they accumulated 12 goals for and 10 against, clearly showing that their main problem is the defense.

However, it is worth bearing in mind that there is still a long tournament to play, and they are only two points behind the top of the standings. Tijuana is coming off an excellent 2-2 draw in their most recent match against Monterrey.

On the other hand, Leon is one of the few teams in Liga MX that does not know what a win is so far. Currently, they have a record of four draws and one loss, with five goals for and eight against. The Esmeraldas need to start winning immediately, otherwise, they will be stuck in the lower half of the standings.

Leon comes into this matchday after tying four consecutive games, the most recent being against Santos Laguna with a 1-1 score.

For this match, our prediction is a win for Tijuana.

Tijuana vs. León Betting Pick: Tijuana

Apertura MX 2024 Matchday 6: Monterrey vs. Toluca

Monterrey has had a really interesting start to the tournament, as despite not having a positive balance in attack/defense, they are equal at the top of the standings with Cruz Azul. Likewise, it is worth noting that they have one more game than their direct rivals, so they need to win or win everything from now on if they want to be decisive and stay at the top of the table.

On the other hand, Toluca is one of the teams that remains undefeated in this tournament after five games played. They have a great attack/defense performance, with nine goals for and four against.

Like Cruz Azul, the Red Devils have one less game played, so if they keep winning, they can not only overtake Monterrey but climb to the top of the standings. Toluca is coming off a narrow 2-1 win over Atlético San Luis.

For this match, our prediction is a draw.

Monterrey vs. Toluca Betting Pick: Draw

Apertura MX 2024 Matchday 6: Cruz Azul vs. América

Beyond the current form of both teams, there is more at stake in this match than just the three points, as the honor of beating your longtime rival is at stake.

Cruz Azul is leading the Apertura MX 2024 with a really interesting record of four wins and one draw, with eleven goals scored and only one conceded. Although they are level on 13 points with Monterrey, the Cementeros are completely dependent on themselves. They have one game in hand and the best goal difference in the league.

La Maquina comes into matchday 6 after an excellent victory over Querétaro by 2-0.

On the other hand, we have América, a team that has been champion in the last couple of seasons of Liga MX, so all the teams have the objective of taking the throne away from them.

Las Águilas started this Apertura 2024 in the worst possible way, as they are currently in 12th place in the standings, with a record of two wins and three losses, with six goals for and six against. There is no doubt that the team’s offense has been off, so they need to wake up as soon as possible if they want to get out of this terrible moment and, above all, start climbing up the standings.

América is coming off a loss in their most recent match against Puebla by 0-1.

For this match, our prediction is a win for Cruz Azul.

Cruz Azul vs. América Betting Pick: Cruz Azul

Apertura MX 2024 Matchday 6: Pumas vs. Tigres

Like the Clásico Jóven, this feline duel always attracts a lot of attention in Liga MX, as they play for the honor of defeating one of their fiercest rivals.

Pumas had an interesting start to the tournament, winning three and drawing one of their first four games. However, in their most recent match, they lost to Atlas by a score of 1-2. As a result, Pumas is currently in seventh place in the standings with ten points, only three behind Cruz Azul at the top. Now, they need to take advantage of their home status to win.

On the other hand, we have Tigres UANL, another team that is always fighting to be as high as possible in the standings, and this Apertura MX 2024 has been no exception. Right now, the team is in fourth place in the standings, with a record of three wins and two ties, equal with 11 points with Toluca, Atlas, and Tijuana.

Tigres has been a strong team in recent tournaments, but in the Playoffs, they need more determination, which is why they should be working on it right now. The Universitarios are coming off a draw in their most recent match against Chivas by 1-1.

For this match, our prediction is a 1-1 draw.

Pumas vs. Tigres Betting Pick: Draw
