CF Cruz Azul vs CF America Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 8/29/24, 11:10 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/30/24 at 5:56 PM in Liga MX Picks

The "young classic" between Cruz Azul and America will have another edition at the last minute at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in Mexico City. It will also be a repeat of the final of the last Clausura tournament in which America won against Cruz Azul in a final aggregate of 2-1, marked by a penalty in the return match that Martin scored and that would give the title to the eagles. That was a final marked by controversial refereeing.

None of the last 3 games between Cruz Azul and America have exceeded 2.5 goals and have been marked by deep parity, but it is also true that Cruz Azul has not won over its rival since 2022.

Cruz Azul is by far the best team in this new Apertura tournament, being first, having played one less game, having scored 11 goals, the second best offense and having conceded only 1. Cruz Azul has not lost a game in regulation time since that final against America, that is, without counting the eliminations via penalties or overtime Cruz Azul has 11 games in a row without losing. In their return from the United States Cruz Azul dominated Queretaro beating them 0-2 away, in a very solid victory against the worst team in Liga MX.
