Jornada 9 was pretty underwhelming, with 8 of the 9 matches featuring fewer than 3 goals and sloppy performances from top teams like Monterrey and Toluca. However, one team continues to impress—Cruz Azul. La Maquina dominated Chivas, controlling possession and creating more attacking chances, ultimately winning 1-0 to maintain their spot at the top of the table.
There was some midweek excitement, though, with Club América winning the Campeones Cup against Columbus Crew—a major achievement that could be just the spark they need to turn things around in league play, where they currently sit in a disappointing 10th place.
Looking ahead to Jornada 10, we’ve got some promising matchups: Chivas vs Monterrey, Pumas vs Club América, and León vs Tigres. Cruz Azul’s next game could be tricky as they face a Pachuca side fresh off a win.
As always, the CABRA boys have your best bets lined up for the weekend!

Tijuana Set to Dominate: Why Mazatlán Faces a Tough Night at Estadio Caliente
As Tijuana welcomes Mazatlán to Estadio Caliente, a home victory seems more than likely. Here’s why Tijuana looks set to claim all three points—and why Mazatlán might want to pack it in early.
Xolos boast a 75% win rate at Estadio Caliente and an impressive average of 2.50 points per game, treating their home ground like a fortress. In stark contrast, Mazatlán has struggled on the road, with an 80% loss rate away from home. Tijuana’s fans can take comfort in the fact that their team has scored in every home match this season and remains unbeaten in their last four at Estadio Caliente. Scoring tonight? That’s almost a certainty.
Mazatlán, meanwhile, has been less than threatening in front of goal, failing to score in three of their last five away games. With their road form in tatters, it’s hard to imagine them turning things around.
Tijuana’s dominance at home combined with Mazatlán’s travel woes makes a Tijuana win (+105) one of the safer bets this week. Unless Mazatlán pulls off an unexpected miracle, it’s shaping up to be another tough away day for them. Buckle up—Tijuana’s ready to keep the party going at Estadio Caliente, while Mazatlán may just play the role of unfortunate guest.
