Cruz Azul vs Tigres Predictions

• Cruz Azul have won 4 of their last 5 games, scoring an average of 2.6 goals a game in the process.
• Cruz Azul have won 4 of their last 5 Liga MX home games.
• Tigres have lost their last 4 away games.
• The latter two of said defeats have been by 2-1 margins.

Cruz Azul looking to maintain strong form

With aspirations of reaching the play-offs via finishing in the top 8 places, Cruz Azul are running along nicely. The hosts certainly have the quality to do exactly that and although they didn’t get off to the best of starts, losing their opening 2 games, they now find themselves in 6th place coming into this round of action.

Indeed, Cruz Azul are starting to look like a real force and their performances have been outstanding in recent weeks. They are unbeaten in 5 matches across all competitions, winning 4 times in the process and having plunged home an average of 2.6 goals a game over said fixtures, they certainly aren’t finding goals hard to come by.

Tigres looking to end away day losing streak

Meanwhile, given the financial resources at their disposal and the amount of quality in their squad on paper, Tigres aren’t meeting expectations at the moment and need to pick things up. With just 7 points from 6 games, the side are outside of the play-off positions and really need to improve in the coming weeks to break into them.

Nonetheless, improvement doesn’t look forthcoming this weekend, as the visitors have been very poor on the road in recent weeks and won’t be confident coming into the game. Indeed, Tigres have lost their last 4 away games across all competitions and having conceded an average of 1.75 goals a game over said outings; it’s not hard to where problems lie.

An home win is expected

Ultimately, Cruz Azul have to be considered favourites to win Sunday’s clash and will be hoping to do exactly that. They are the only side that brings any sort of momentum with them and typically strong as hosts, they should have enough to get the better of an under-performing visiting outfit.

All things considered, backing a home win looks the way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. Tigres’ away form is highly concerning and having lost their last 2 matches on the road by 2-1 margins; that’s a scoreline we can see them losing by once again this weekend.
