Let's dive knee-deep into the heart of this high-octane Liga MX Apertura matchup between Cruz Azul and Mazatlán FC, folks. Now, I must admit, if this were a beauty pageant, well, our dear friends at Mazatlán FC wouldn’t be taking home a sash, let alone a trophy. They've seen more losses than a dog sawed-off table legs with a recent sorry string of defeats. Just look at their last season records, those numbers could depress a hyena.
Now, over in the other corner, we've got Cruz Azul, who have been chewing up the field like a combine harvester in a corn field. Their last season alone makes them look like the star track athletes when pitted against Mazatlán's struggle at hopscotch.
Mazatlán did manage to knot up previous meetings with Cruz Azul a couple of times in recent memory, but let's be real here, those moments are about as rare as a steak wrapped in unicorn foil.
Looking at these recent results, we've got Cruz Azul showing they've got more thrust than a rocket going to Mars with a string of promising outcomes. Meanwhile, Mazatlán, why don't I come straight out and say it, they've been performing like me trying to do a salsa dance and we all know how that ended.
I mean honestly, picturing Mazatlán snatching a win here is like trying to imagine a hamster winning a boxing match. So, I'll plonk my money on Cruz Azul, and with their recent form, let's make it a noticeable win.
