Tijuana vs CF Cruz Azul Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 1/31/25, 6:34 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 4/24/25 at 6:11 AM in Liga MX Picks

After Cruz Azul dominated last year's opening tournament, earning 42 points in 17 games to advance to the quarterfinals, the Cementeros got their first win of the Clausura tournament as late as the fourth game against Necaxa. It was, in the betting, a very surprising first three rounds as Cruz Azul had an implied probability of winning greater than 50% in all cases and failed to win. At least on January 28 having beaten Necaxa will make them recover good feelings, the scorers in the last victory were Lira, Giakoumakis and Faravelli after they started losing against Necaxa 0-1 at 18 and the VAR saved them from 0-2 at 32 minutes.

Cruz Azul will continue away from Mexico City when they face Tijuana at the Caliente Stadium and for the first time in the season the semifinalist of the last opening tournament will not be as favorite as in the previous 4 matchdays.

However, the Xolos showed their defensive weakness against Tigres right from the start of this Clausura tournament, conceding 4 goals in their last defeat, in a match they were trailing from minute 2.
