Tigres vs Cruz Azul up Next and Herculez Gomez Drops By!
Picks, Memes, and more! >>
What did you all think of Jornada 6, compas? Club América solidified their top spot on the table by edging out Puebla 2–1 away from home, which also included Henry Martin scoring his 100th Liga MX goal! Necaxa secured a hard-fought 3–2 win over Santos Laguna. Chivas also picked up an important 2–1 victory against Tijuana, and Pumas squeaked by Mazatlán 1–0 to remain near the top. Among the weekend’s close encounters was a narrow 2–1 home victory by Cruz Azul over Pachuca, with both teams displaying plenty of attacking intent.
The standout match, however, was the pulsating 3–3 draw between León and Toluca. León raced out to a three-goal advantage thanks to a brace from R. Echeverría and an early strike from J. Cádiz, but Toluca battled back in impressive fashion with two second-half goals from R. Morales and another from I. Violante. The flurry of goals and nonstop end-to-end action made this contest the spectacle of the week, underlining just how tight and competitive the league is shaping up to be.
Looking ahead to Jornada 7, all eyes will be on the showdown between Tigres UANL and Cruz Azul—a clash that rarely disappoints. Tigres, currently near the top of the table with a mix of solid defense and decisive attacking play, will be eager to prove their title credentials at home. Cruz Azul, coming off that morale-boosting win against Pachuca, will want to keep their momentum going and leapfrog their direct rivals in the standings. With both teams featuring quality squads and plenty at stake in this young Clausura campaign, this match promises high intensity and could prove pivotal in shaping the top half of the table.
As always, the CABRA boys have your best bets lined up for the weekend below!

Locking It Down: Tigres-Cruz Azul Sets Up a Low-Scoring Showdown
We got two of the top-four sides in this one! Historically, this matchup leans toward low scoring affairs: for their last 11 meetings, only three games have produced more than 2.5 goals. Both teams have shown they can be defensively solid—Tigres, in particular, boast an excellent home record this season, conceding less than a goal per match on average at the Estadio Universitario. This defensive resilience will likely remain a key factor.
On one side, Tigres have turned their home ground into a fortress. They own a 75% win rate at home and concede a mere 0.58 goals per match when playing in front of their fans. Meanwhile, Cruz Azul’s recent form includes an unbeaten run in their last two away fixtures, but they’ll be wary of over-committing offensively against a Tigres side that capitalizes on defensive gaps. Add in the fact that Cruz Azul’s average goals scored away from home sits well below two per game, and it’s easy to see why a low-scoring contest is a strong possibility.
Expect a measured pace in midfield, with each side probing for an opening rather than recklessly searching for goals. In what could be a critical matchup near the top of the table, the safest bet—based on data and recent results—points toward a tight, low-scoring 90 minutes.
