My Prediction
Cruz Azul by 1If we rewind the tape and analyze past performances in this exciting Liga MX Clausura playoffs, there's an interesting recurring pattern that simply can't be ignored. And in my humble and annoyingly correct opinion, Cruz Azul has gotten the better of Club León more often than not. Despite the rough-and-tumble nature of their face-offs, Cruz Azul managed to outscore their feline adversaries in most games. I reckon the last match where Club León didn’t walk away with their tails between their legs was a tranquil Sunday back in 2023, when they tied Cruz Azul.
I'm sure Cruz Azul's regular season record will have the cream of the betting crop hovering knowingly. Not to mention, they've been playing some deft soccer recently, showing great pluck even in adversarial situations. Not to discount Club León's efforts, but their recent struggle against Monterrey does raise an eyebrow, or two if you're not in the mood for winking.
Now as far as predictions go, I should mention that I have as much control over football as a blindfolded goalkeeper. Humorous exuberance aside, given the figures, facts, and some good old gut feeling, I lean towards Cruz Azul for Game 1.
