Midweek Madness: A 3–3 Classic and Ramos Rumblings
Picks, Memes, and more! >>
Midweek Jornada 4 action served up plenty of excitement. Mazatlán eked out a narrow win over Puebla, Tigres ran rampant at home with a 4–0 thrashing of Tijuana, and Club América soared with a 3–0 victory against San Luis. León edged Guadalajara 2–1, Cruz Azul found their attacking groove by defeating Necaxa 3–1, and Pachuca grabbed a gritty 1–0 result versus Querétaro. Elsewhere, Juárez edged Santos 1–0, but the most dramatic matchup belonged to Atlas and Monterrey.
Atlas and Monterrey thrilled fans with a 3–3 draw at the Estadio Jalisco. J. Márquez notched a brace (5′, 40′) to lead the Rojinegros, but Rayados responded with goals from Ó. Torres (37′), R. Chávez (66′), and J. Alvarado (74′). With Monterrey seemingly set to seal the victory, Dória’s 89th-minute equalizer salvaged a point for Atlas. The flurry of late drama highlighted both teams’ attacking prowess—and, in Monterrey’s case, underscored the defensive reinforcement they hope to gain from the imminent arrival of Sergio Ramos, the seasoned Spanish defender whose signing has been all but confirmed by numerous reports.
Preview – Jornada 5
Looking ahead to Jornada 5, León aim to keep winning on the road against Mazatlán, while Club Tijuana seek redemption versus Cruz Azul. Club América will try to build on their momentum when hosting Juárez, and Toluca’s duel with Tigres promises fireworks. Meanwhile, Monterrey’s clash with Necaxa stands out as a marquee test, especially with the impending addition of Sergio Ramos. His wealth of experience, leadership qualities, and set-piece threat could be the spark Rayados need to shore up their back line and elevate their title credentials in the Clausura.

LOCK of the WEEK:
Mazatlan vs Leon
Friday, 5 pm PST
No Clean Sheets in Sight
Look, I’ll admit it—I’ve been off my game this season. I dominated last year, but right now, I’m sitting at 0–3 on my locks. They’re trying to write me off, but here’s the thing: you can’t bury someone who came from the dirt. I’m asking for your trust on this next one, and let’s get back on track together, compas!
Mazatlán vs León has all the makings of an end-to-end matchup, making Both Teams to Score at -128 a very appealing wager. Historically, these sides tend to trade goals: both teams have found the net in six of their last nine head-to-head clashes (67% BTTS). Meanwhile, Mazatlán’s scoring threat at home is undeniable—its last five home matches have seen a combined 18 total goals, which translates to a lively 3.6 goals per game on average. That attacking mindset should continue here, especially against a León defense that, though talented, has shown it can be breached on the road.
Speaking of León’s away form, the visitors have also been reliable for at least one goal in their travels. Their last four away matches have all featured at least one goal from each side, highlighting both their attacking prowess and occasional defensive lapses. With Mazatlán’s current home scoring run and León’s proven ability to strike on the road, it’s tough to see either side keeping a clean sheet.
