This is it, and we are stoked about it, as we are walking into the last matchday in the Clausura MX 2024. Contrary to the past seasons, where one or two teams separated from the rest, things all over the table are pretty tight, and everything could happen in the last few games of the regular season.
Club América had a three-point lead until they lost their most recent match, allowing Toluca to catch up to them, and now, they must fight for the top position. Cruz Azul also has a shot at taking over the coveted first seed if they are lucky enough.
However, la Maquina and Monterrey (4th) should also be careful, as any slip will allow Tigres, Pachuca, Chivas, or Necaxa to enter the top four.
This will be the most exciting regular season end in years, and we expect the Play-In and Liguilla to provide us with as many emotions.
Clausura MX 2024 Matchday 17: Puebla vs. Club América

Where can I watch it?
The top-placed team is looking to secure its place after their recent loss against Pumas. However, they also have to play against Pachuca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and even if it can help them gain momentum, it’s also a tiring contest to face before a key match.
In their favor, Puebla’s demise in recent years has been confirmed this season as they are, finally, the worst team in the league and will hardly get out of the last spot. Since being a team that fought to enter the top four a couple of years ago, the sale of key figures and the lack of investment destroyed a project that seems to be in the doldrums.
Now, they must prepare for the next season, and a dramatic win in this game could raise their spirits. However, we expect the visitors to beat their hosts.
Puebla vs. Club America Betting Pick: Club America
Clausura MX 2024 Matchday 17: Toluca vs. Cruz Azul
When and Where?
Saturday, April 27, 9:00 pm at the Estadio Nemesio Diez
Moneyline odds:
Toluca 1.99
Cruz Azul 3.59
Draw Offs:
3.52
Where can I watch it?
The most relevant match of the day will feature the second and third teams in the standings. This game could decide the first seed in case of a slip by América. Although improbable, the chance of being first is not the only relevant thing, considering everything else at stake.
Cruz Azul could easily fall from the top four with another defeat, and for Toluca, another defeat against a contender in a few weeks will be a terrible omen with the postseason being so close.
Two of the teams with the most wins in the table clash (9), but we believe that Toluca will come out on top.
Toluca vs. Cruz Azul Betting Pick: Toluca
Clausura MX 2024 Matchday 17: Tigres UANL vs. Club Tijuana
When and Where?
Saturday, April 27th, 9:00 pm ET at the Estadio Universitario
Moneyline odds:
Tigres UANL 1.5
Club Tijuana 5.85
Draw Offs:
4.4
Where can I watch it?
After a long season for them, Tijuana did pick up the pace at the very end, as they are now on a two-match win streak. Those are their only wins in the whole Clausura MX 2024.
They will be visitors against a Tigres team, who are on a mission to take over the 4th spot. The felines have been in ups and downs recently, being especially poor against the most competitive teams in the league.
We expect Tigres to make one last push to take the 4th spot by beating Tijuana.
Tigres UANL vs. Club Tijuana Betting Pick: Tigres UANL
Clausura MX 2024 Matchday 17: Necaxa vs. Monterrey
When and Where?
Sunday, April 28th, 8:00 pm ET at the Estadio Victoria
Moneyline odds:
Necaxa 3.045
Monterrey 2.26
Draw Offs:
3.4
Where can I watch it?
This clash between the 4th-placed team and the 8th-placed one will be exciting. A win for either could push them a few spots forward and switch things around.
For Monterrey, not getting points risks them going into the Play-In instead of skipping into the Liguilla, and for Necaxa, a win could potentially send them to the top four if the other teams ahead have a bad day out.
However, we are expecting the visitors to put on a fight, and we believe the match will end up as a draw.
Necaxa vs. Monterrey Betting Pick: Draw
