Chivas vs Cruz Azul: preview
Chivas
Chivas head into the clash with Cruz Azul sitting fourth in the regular season standings, and with direct qualification for the playoffs proper within reach.
Veljko Paunovic’s men lifted themselves into the top four with a 2-0 victory over Club León on matchday 15, Pável Pérez and Rubén González scoring the goals as Los Rojiblancos leapfrogged their opponents in the table.
Chivas, who are 12-time champions, are seeking their first Mexican title win since the Clausura 2017 tournament and only their second this century.
Cruz Azul
Beaten 3-1 by Club América in matchday 15′s Clásico Capitolino, Cruz Azul no longer have any chance of claiming an automatic place in the Clausura 2023 playoffs proper.
The nine-time title winners, who replaced head coach Raúl Gutiérrez with Ricardo Ferretti in February, will have to go through the postseason’s preliminary round if they’re to reach the quarter-finals.
With five points separating Cruz Azul and Santos Laguna in 13th, La Máquina are very close to making sure of their prelim berth. The club has won just one Liga MX championship since 1997 - the Guardianes 2021.
