Match Preview
Cruz Azul hosts Mazatlán at the iconic Estadio Azteca in a Liga MX clash that promises to be intriguing. The home side is in solid form, boasting three wins and two draws in their last five matches, while Mazatlán has struggled, managing just one win alongside three losses and a draw in the same period. Historically, Cruz Azul has had the upper hand in their encounters, winning five of the last ten matchups, with four ending in draws. This trend suggests a strong likelihood of Cruz Azul securing all three points.
A key angle to consider is the scoring potential in this fixture. With odds of 1.62 for over 2.5 goals, it reflects both teams' recent form, particularly Cruz Azul's attacking prowess. Additionally, both teams have shown a tendency to find the net, with five of the last ten head-to-heads seeing both teams score. Given Cruz Azul's current momentum and Mazatlán's defensive vulnerabilities, a high-scoring affair seems likely, making the over 2.5 goals bet an appealing option for punters.
