Tijuana vs Cruz Azul betting preview

Tijuana preview

The strongest striker for Tijuana this domestic season has been Christian Rivera. The 28-year-old managed to score five goals in 16 games, leading his team. The midfielder has made six consecutive appearances without being included in the statistics list. On Wednesday he will use his presence to drive the attack.

Between the posts, Jose Antonio Rodriguez looked subpar in his 12 starts during the regular season and two postseason appearances. The goalkeeper kept only two clean sheets all year while maintaining a subpar save percentage of under 68 percent.

Cruz Azul betting preview

Angel Sepulveda ends the Apertura season with the second most goals scored in 2024 and will look to lead La Maquina to a good overall result in the second leg. The 33-year-old striker scored nine goals in 17 games. In 53 games in all competitions with Cruz Azul, Sepulveda has scored 18 goals.

Another key figure driving the attack is forward-positioned left-back Carlos Rotondi. The 27-year-old scored seven goals and four assists in 1,375 minutes of play this season. Rotondi has worn the Celestes colors 94 times since 2022, scoring 18 goals in all competitive games.

Tijuana vs. Cruz Azul – My choice

Regardless of Tijuana’s strong play at the Estadio Caliente, we think Cruz Azul should outclass them on this pitch on Wednesday. The Machines went flat out on the scoreboard that year, finishing with 39 goals scored as a club. This squad is capable of scoring from every position player, as Cruz Azul had six different scorers score three or more goals in the regular season. Cruz Azul took first place in the standings for a reason, with their solid attacking abilities and strong defense that only conceded 12 goals all year. We think Tijuana could be overwhelmed by the visitors as they looked like a juggernaut of a team in Liga MX.
