Cruz Azul Vs Tijuana Liga Mx Quarterfinals

Cruz Azul is set to face a significant challenge in the second leg of the Liga MX Apertura 2024 quarterfinals against Xolos de Tijuana. The match, held on Saturday, November 30, at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, follows a 3-0 defeat for Cruz Azul in the first leg, putting them in a precarious position to advance.

The team, led by coach Martín Anselmi, needs to overcome a three-goal deficit to stay in the tournament. The Cruz Azul fans have shown strong support, with the team’s barra delivering a serenade to the players at their hotel, which moved Anselmi to tears. Despite the emotional boost, the task remains formidable, with Tijuana aiming to defend their lead and secure a spot in the semifinals.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:10 PM Central Time (Mexico) or 8:10 PM Eastern Time (USA). Fans in the USA can watch the game live on various platforms, including Fubo, Univision, TUDN, and DirecTV Stream.

According to predictions from artificial intelligence, Cruz Azul has a 74% chance of winning the match, but this may not be enough to overturn the aggregate score. The historical head-to-head record shows Cruz Azul with an edge, but Tijuana’s recent performance has given them a significant advantage.

The Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, with a capacity for 36,000 spectators, will host the intense showdown. The stadium, temporarily home to both Cruz Azul and América while the Estadio Azteca is under renovation, is expected to be filled with passionate fans cheering on their teams.
