Why Bet on San Luis?
Atletico San Luis is having a decent tournament. With 11 points, it is in eighth place, qualifying for the play-in. They have three wins, two draws, and three defeats, in addition to 12 goals scored and 10 conceded.
They have just agonizingly lost to Tigres by 1-0 with a goal scored by Fernando Gorriarán at 90+8 minutes from a free kick that Diego Lainez barely touched to roll it in for the Uruguayan shot.
However, they have done well at home, with three wins and a draw. They managed to defeat América (2-1), Querétaro (4-0), and Atlas (2-1), while it was Tijuana (1-1) that held them to a tie. That is very different from last year’s tournament when they lost four of the eight games they played at their stadium.
Their 12 goals make them the fourth-best attack in the tournament, and their top scorer is Ivorian Franck Boli, who has three. Among the players to highlight are Frenchman Sébastien Salles-Lamonge and Mexican Luis Nájera, with two goals each.
Why Bet on Cruz Azul?
For now, Cruz Azul is the best club in the Liga MX. With 19 points, they are at the top of the table after six wins and only one draw against Toluca (1-1) four games ago. They have 19 points, 17 goals scored, and only three conceded, making them one of only three undefeated teams, the club with the most goals scored, and the one that concedes the fewest.
They have just beaten León 1-2 with goals by Lorenzo Faravelli and Carlos Rotondi, having won three games in a row, including a 4-1 victory over América. As an away team in the tournament, they have three wins in three games, scoring eight goals and conceding only one.
Rotondi is the team’s top scorer with four goals, but it is also worth mentioning the Greek Giorgos Giakoumakis with three goals and two assists, and the Colombian goalkeeper Kevin Mier, who has been an almost impenetrable wall, also helped by a remarkable defense.
Final Betting Analysis: San Luis vs. Cruz Azul

The Cementeros have three wins in a row against this rival and four games without losing. The last time San Luis won was on April 24, 2022, while at home, they have not won since 2020.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Cruz Azul as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 1.81, San Luis has 3.92, and the draw is at 3.88.
It will not be an easy duel for Cruz Azul, as San Luis has proven to be a great rival at home. However, the tournament of the Máquina has been magnificent and will continue that way, so they will take the three points. We’ll go for a 1-2.
Go for a win for Cruz Azul. If you bet $100 at 1.81, you will gain $81 for a total payout of $181.
