Real playoff preview to take place this Saturday in Mexico City Representing some of the best talent La Liga MX has to offer, Cruz Azul vs Tigres should not only be an exciting battle, but also a very close one

Few Liga MX fans and journalists, if any, would be surprised if Tigres and Cruz Azul head to the weekend among the top five in the table Spurred on by huge salaries, both sides have steadily prospered in recent years on the Mexican football scene

For Tigres, success has almost become a norm for the powerhouse who have four Liga MX championships since 2015 this season – despite numerous complaints from fans who questioned their slow start to the competition – they haven’t Still relinquished a playoff position At times, needing a month or so to flex their muscles, the Tigers are roaring again after the middle of their schedule with four straight wins since September 12.

Three points ahead of the Tigers sit Cruz Azul Even after failing to secure a victory in their last two games, the Mexico team remains in 2nd place in the standings Some complications have formed for Cruz Azul – especially in their offense – but more often in 2020 they have regularly had no problem beating and dominating any team that has been thrown in their way

Still, these attacking issues persist, and that’s good news for a Tigres team that is on the verge of outdoing them

Could the argument be that Cruz Azul has so far been the best team in Mexican football in 2020? Probably Prior to the season’s cancellation in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Los Cementeros held first place in the previous Clausura 2020 tournament Over the summer they won the title in the pre-competition Copa Por Mexico season They are also currently second in the standings

That said, they do sometimes stumble in rare but defining moments Their 1-0 loss to Queretaro in August was completely unexpected, they lost 1-0 to Atlas in September, and in their last two games they didn’t could not find the bottom of the nets

Blessed by intriguing and exciting offensive characters like Jonathan Rodriguez, Roberto Alvarado, Santiago Gimenez, Elias Hernandez and many others, the typically dominant Cruz Azul have been held aimlessly in their last two appearances. Granted, this was due to incredible goalkeeper performances, but nevertheless, Cruz Azul is losing speed

Death, taxes and Tigers finally start to clinch wins after halfway through the season In what now seems eerily predictable, manager Ricardo « Tuca » Ferretti and his men needed a pre – prolonged season to finally solve their problems and find solutions to their problems – which didn’t seem to emerge in their last handful of matches

In their four previous matches, the Tigers have scored 10 goals and have not allowed any Besides the usual set of goals from striker André-Pierre Gignac, others have also started to arrive from Nico « Diente »Lopez, Eduardo Vargas and others The Tigers are back and unbeaten in their last five games, they are sure to give Cruz Azul a lot of trouble this weekend

We could talk as much as we want about the form and momentum of each attack, but in reality the two biggest figures on the pitch will be the keepers on either side of the pitch Nahuel Guzman of Tigres and Jesus Corona of Cruz Azul are among the most illustrious and experienced goalkeepers not only in La Liga MX, but also in the Americas. As trusted pillars of leadership who consistently make highlight-worthy saves, it wouldn’t really come as a surprise if this game ended in a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.

Keep in mind that only Chivas and Leon have allowed fewer goals this season than Cruz Azul and Tigres
