Cruz Azul vs Club Tijuana tips and predictions

Hosts are a no-bet

With just 3 points between them it's 15th placed Cruz Azul versus seventh placed Club Tijuana.

Even if Cruz Azul score a lorry load of goals, in terms of value-betting, they cannot be picked.

Cruz Azul are a bit of an enigma at the moment. They've lost 5 of their last 8 games at home. Some dubious tactics in the final third haven't helped their latest goal count. They've scored 0.8 goals on average over their last 9 matches on their own paddock. Depending on the nature of the line-up they face at kick-off, this stat could be the difference between winning and losing.

With their backs to the wall the visitors shouldn't be ruled out. Club Tijuana have actually got the win from 3 of their last 5 campaigns. Their best performances have been summarised by their strength in the final third. They've scored two or more goals in 4 of their last 5 games and to have any chance of success they'll have to contribute more goals to that number.

Winning might be far-fetched but they can pinch something here, maybe just the draw. Cruz Azul are the favoured side but things will get interesting if Club Tijuana can get them on the counter-attack. It isn't a particulary strong view but the Yes BTTS bet is the unconfident side bet. Looking into the goal line, it's Over 2.5 Goals standing out in this one considering the price on offer.
