Cruz Azul are slight favorites in this game, although their inconsistency this term means they cannot be backed to get the job done away from home.
Atletico San Luis have also struggled for momentum but could be buoyed by home advantage. Although one side is capable of nicking this one, we are predicting the spoils to be shared with goals at both ends.
