Cruz Azul vs Tigres Prediction and Betting Tips | February 18th 2024

The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Cruz Azul and Tigres go head-to-head at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes on Saturday.

Robert Siboldi’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last eight away games against La Máquina and will look to extend this impressive run. Cruz Azul maintained their fine run of results as they cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Atletico San Luis last Sunday.

La Máquina have now won four games on the spin, scoring nine goals and conceding twice since failing to win their first two matches of the new Clausura campaign. With 13 points from six matches, Cruz Azul are currently fourth in the Liga MX standings, just one point behind league leaders Monterrey.

Elsewhere, Tigres thrashed Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0 on Thursday to secure a 4-1 aggregate victory over the MLS outfit in the first round of the CONCACAF Champions League qualifiers. This was in keeping with a fine run of results in Liga MX, where they have picked up four wins and two draws in their opening six matches.

With 14 points from a possible 18, Siboldi’s side are currently third in the league table, level on points with Club America and first-placed Monterrey.
