The actions of the Liga MX opening tournament calendar continue and this weekend will be matchday 7, where very intense and defining matches are expected, especially for the teams that are fighting for first place in the general classification table.
First of all, we have to ratify that Tigres continues to demonstrate that their only objective is to win the championship trophy of this tournament, and they want to escape in the first place of the table to have a second half of the season a little more comfortable.
Monterrey and Toluca will try not to let that happen, but they know they can’t drop points again in the next few games. Tijuana wants to join the party for the fight for the first place, after a very bad start, the 3 wins in a row with which they arrive at this round helped them to get into the top 4.
Meanwhile, América and Atlas are still not waking up and are sinking further down the general classification table with every matchday.
The following is a preview of the best games on the 7th day of the Liga MX opening tournament.

The match that will kick off this Liga MX matchday 7 will be between Atlas and Querétaro, this Thursday 04 August 2022 at Estadio Jalisco, home of Atlas.
This is an extremely important match for both teams, as they are not having a good start to the tournament and need to get as many wins as possible if they want to fight for the next Liguilla.
The current two-time champions of Mexican football, Atlas, are having a start to the tournament to forget. They are currently ranked #16, that is, the second to last place in the standings, with a very bad record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 4 defeats.
Atlas comes into matchday 7 with a bad run of 3 consecutive defeats, the last one against Santos, with a score of 0-1.
On the other hand, we have Querétaro, a team that is looking for their first win of the tournament and if they don’t get it, they could sink much further in the standings and start thinking about the Clausura tournament. Querétaro is in last place in the table, with a record of 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Querétaro is coming off a tough defeat in their last match against Tigres, with a score of 1-2.
Atlas vs. Querétaro Betting Pick: Atlas

Another very interesting match that we will have in this Liga MX matchday 7 will be between Juarez and America, which will be next Sunday 7th August 2022 at the Azteca Stadium, home of America.
Like the previous match, this one will also be between two teams that are not living a good moment in the tournament and urgently need to get 3 points to start climbing positions in the overall standings.
Juarez looked like they were going to have a good tournament after their first two games, but in the last few weeks their performance has dropped too much, and they need to recover as quickly as possible to avoid dropping further down the standings.
Although Juárez has shown a very solid defense only allowing 4 goals, they have only scored 4, a very low number for a team that wants to fight for a place in the next Liguilla.
On the other hand, America comes to this matchday 7 with an extremely complex schedule in July, first of all, because of the Liga MX matches and, secondly, because of the international friendlies they played against European teams. In addition to this, they will play their debut in the Leagues Cup, a midweek match against the LAFC of the MLS.
Because of this, America asked the Liga MX to postpone the match by 1 day, to have a rest day.
America comes into this match after losing their last two games in the local tournament, the first against Tijuana and the second against Leon.
Juárez vs. América Betting Pick: América
Liga MX Matchday 7: Pachuca vs. Tigres UANL

This Sunday, Pachuca and Tigres UANL, two of the best teams in Mexican football in recent years, are scheduled to play what will be the best match of this Liga MX matchday 7. The match will be played at the Miguel Hidalgo “Huracán” Stadium, home of Pachuca.
We all know the enormous potential that Pachuca has and that they showed at the beginning of this opening tournament, but in the last few weeks, they have had different setbacks that have taken them, momentarily, away from the road to victory.
Pachuca come into this matchday with a streak of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss in their last 5 games played. The last of these was a 0-0 draw against Guadalajara.
On the other hand, Tigres is, at the moment, the team that is the most inspired and in the best momentum in the entire Liga MX. Tigres, after losing the first match of this tournament, has managed to bounce back and in what a way, winning their last 5 matches to take over first place in the general classification table.
Tigres have just got their fifth victory in a row in their match against Querétaro, with a score of 2-1.
Pachuca vs. Tigres UANL Betting Pick: Draw

We close this summary of the best matches of the 7th round of the Liga MX, with the great match between Leon and Monterrey, which will be played this Saturday, August 6th, 2022 at BBVA Stadium, home of Monterrey.
Leon has not had the consistency they dreamed of at the start of the tournament, but they have managed to stay in the upper middle of the table. They are currently in sixth place in the standings, with a record of 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss.
With these three points, León could move up to fourth place in the standings, depending on what happens in Tijuana’s game.
León comes into this match after getting back to winning ways in their previous match when they defeated America with a score of 3-2.
On the other hand, Monterrey, who also started this tournament with a defeat in the first match played, managed to come back in such a way that they are now equal second in the table with Toluca, with a total of 13 points, only 2 behind Tigres.
Monterrey had everything to continue to lead, along with Tigres, in the overall Liga MX standings, but, in their match against Pumas, they were held to a draw.
