Two of the biggest teams in Mexico face an important game for the aspirations of both, Cruz Azul and Chivas.
The Maquina felt the pressure of playing with few days of rest and got surprised in Potosí by San Luis, who convincingly beat them 3-1.
The Rebaño just beat León, recovering quickly from the setback against América. However, it’s still a matter of worry that even the worst team of the Águilas in recent times was a mountain too high to climb for them.

Why Bet on Cruz Azul?
La Maquina comes to this duel after losing its undefeated record against Atlético San Luis last Tuesday. It was a 3-1 at the Alfonso Lastras Stadium.
The Uruguayan captain Ignacio Rivero opened the scoreboard in the 32nd minute, but the Ivorian Franck Boli equalized in the 35th minute and before the end of the first half, Javier Güemez achieved the comeback.
Unfortunately for the light blues, Argentine Gonzalo Piovi made a mistake with a kick and was sent off in the 74th minute, whilean own goal by Erik Lira closed the score. Despite this, Argentine Martín Anselmi’s men remain at the top of the table with 19 points.
Why Bet on Chivas?
El Rebaño returned to the path of victory by beating León 2-0 at the Akron Stadium, thanks to Roberto Alvarado and an own goal from Paul Bellón.
In the first half, Guadalajara dominated the actions, but was not good in front of the goal, although before going to rest, Antonio Briseño received a clear foul from the Ecuadorian Jordy Alcívar, which was reviewed in the VAR to declare the penalty in favor, which El Piojo converted.
In the second half, the emerald defender sent the ball into his goal after a header from Víctor Guzmán. Thanks to this, Argentine Fernando Gago’s team is fifth in the Liga MX with 14 points.
Final Betting Analysis: Cruz Azul vs. Chivas
The teams are looking good as they enter this upcoming match, but the thing is that Cruz Azul is the leader of the group, having just lost their first match but having a remarkable run at home so far.
In the previous 24 games between them playing with the Maquina as local, there is a slight advantage for them with seven triumphs. El Rebaño won five times, and there were 12 draws. Their last game ended in a dominant 3-0 victory for Cruz Azul.
Chivas is picking up the pace, but they do not look ready to face a strong leader, and of course, not as visitors. We’ll go for a 2-0 for the locals.
