Next Tuesday night will bring midweek Liga MX activity, and even though some teams like Cruz Azul earned important victories during the weekend, they must turn the page quickly, as the upcoming games are still very important to define their near future in the playoffs. With their playoff objectives in mind, Cruz Azul is expected to take the offensive initiative in their game against Necaxa, a game in which their defensive capabilities will be tested again on the road.
It cannot be ignored that this season has been a nightmare for Necaxa, so even though they still have mathematical chances of qualifying for the play-in, the reality is that they’re very far from achieving that objective. Most of this lack of results is related to their defensive weaknesses, it being worth noting that they currently have the third-worst defense after conceding 26 goals throughout the season.
Meanwhile, Cruz Azul has proven themselves to be a competitive team after defeating America during the weekend (2-1); however, they have also committed ridiculous defensive errors in that game, so players like Jorge Sanchez are expected to take better decisions in the final rounds of the season to avoid losing second place in the standings to teams like America, Monterrey, or Tigres.
