Prediction published on 10/3/24, 7:00 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 10/3/24 at 9:51 PM in Liga MX Picks

After the small slip against Atletico San Luis, Cruz Azul continued its winning streak by winning the next two games against Guadalajara and Pachuca. Against the Tuzos, Cruz Azul, the team led by Anselmi, once again showed its barbaric ability to turn soccer games around. They had started losing 2-0 in 42 minutes, before going into halftime the Greek Giakoumakis appeared and also scored the second goal, then Faravelli, assisted again by the Greek, and Sepulveda would score the 3rd and 4th goal to win at the Hidalgo Stadium.

Now Cruz Azul will return to the Estadio Cuidad de los Deportes being the best offense in Liga MX with 23 goals, and the second best defense having only allowed 8 goals.

Cruz Azul's midfield up front has worked better than expected, even better than in the last Clausura tournament. Necaxa's top scoring player, Palavecino has 3, but at Cruz Azul Faravelli also has three goals as a midfielder, Sepulveda has 4, Rivero has 4 and is also a midfielder, Rotondi has 4 and Giakoumakis an impressive 5 goals.

Necaxa has drawn their last 3 Liga MX games, which is a frequent result for them, but they also struggle to find a winning way when they draw. The last time they won after drawing the last game was in February.
