Despite coming off a huge loss at home against Necaxa, Club América is still the first pick to win the Liga MX 2020 Clausura trophy at sportsbooks. And after eight rounds of league play, León and Cruz Azul now appear to be the main threats for Las Aguilas this season.
América Visits Pumas in Key Clash
América’s four-game winning streak ended with a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Necaxa at home, and now they will visit rival Pumas in one of the most important games on their calendar on March 6. Coach Miguel Herrera will have the return of Sebastián Córdova, Giovani dos Santos and Henry Martín, all recovered from injuries. However, Bruno Valdez and Santiago Cáseres are suspended after picking up red cards during the last match. The team leads the race to win the Clausura at +400 odds.
Surprises León and Juarez Face Off
Currently in an unexpected third place with 15 points, León has a tough away match against Juarez, another team having a surprising campaign – they are fourth, with 14 points. The team was eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions League by LAFC and lost to Chivas in the eighth round. Midfielder Yairo Moreno and strikers Joel Campbell and Nicolas Sosa will be back on March 8. At +500 odds, they are oddsmakers’ second choice to win the Clausura.
Cruz Azul Aims to Hold First Place
Cruz Azul continued its strong run and remained undefeated in the month of February; they played a total of seven games in all competitions, won six of them and tied one. Los Cementeros lead the Clausura standings with the same 16 points as América but are placed first because they have a better goal differential. Their opponent at home on March 7 will be Tijuana, who have scored only six points in the last eight games. Cruz Azul sits third to claim the title at +750 odds.
Santos Laguna, at +850, and Tigres, at +900, are also getting oddsmakers’ attention this season.
