Prediction
Cruz Azul 2, Club America 1
Moneyline (ML)
CRUZ AZUL (+175) sits atop the Liga BBVA MX table with 19 points, and they’re tied with Leon with a league-high six victories. America (+135) is rather banged up, too. Cruz Azul have posted a seven-game unbeaten streak, and that should continue on the road against a good team. America lost 3-0 on their home pitch against a very mediocre Necaxa on Feb. 29 in their most recent Clausura outing at Estadio Azteca, and they’re 1-2-0 in their previous three at home.
If you’re not 100-percent confident betting Liga MX, and wish to be less adventurous, you can play the ‘Double Chance’ bet, with CRUZ AZUL OR TIE (-189), and the only way you lose your wager is if Club America wins outright.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-110) is basically a 50-50 proposition. In Club America’s past three matches across all competitions, the Over has exceeded 2.5 goals, including a 3-0 spanking of Atlanta United in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals. Cruz Azul buried four goals in their most recent Clausura match against Club Tijuana, winning 4-2 on March 7. They have netted exactly four goals each in their past three matches across all competitions.
