Matchday 7 of the Liga MX Apertura 2022 will begin on Thursday, August 4th. There will be a total of eight matches, since Pumas and Puebla will not participate this weekend, as the university team will travel to Spain to play for the Joan Gamper Trophy against FC Barcelona.
Last weekend, all 18 teams in the league were active again, but the goal tally was the lowest so far in the tournament, with a total of only 16 goals scored. It is expected that Matchday 7 will once again feature great games full of excitement and goals.
There will be one match on Thursday, one more on Friday, two on Saturday, and four on Sunday, the day with the most soccer matches. JefeBet has chosen four games that project to be the most entertaining.
Match Predictions for Day 7 in Liga MX Apertura 2022
Atlas vs. Queretaro
Atlas has lost three consecutive matches, and so far has only one win after six games played. They have a total of four defeats and, together with Querétaro, are one of the teams with the highest number of matches lost in the Apertura 2022.
Querétaro has yet to taste victory in the tournament, having drawn two and lost four of its six matches. They have just lost to Tigres by a score of 2-1, but at least they are free of back-to-back defeats like their rival.
This match will be played on Thursday, August 4 at 7:00 p.m. (Pacific time) at the Jalisco Stadium. Considering the poor form of both teams and the defensive lapses, we could expect a draw, but not a 0-0 draw.
Prediction: Tie.
Mazatlan vs. Guadalajara
Mazatlán is the second-worst team of the season with three draws and three defeats in six games played. They are coming off a 2-0 loss to Tijuana and their situation is beginning to be worrying, as they have not won a game since last April and have accumulated seven games without a loss in all competitions.
Guadalajara, meanwhile, is also not at its best, as despite four consecutive draws, it is another of the three teams that have not managed to achieve a victory in this tournament and has now gone eight games without a win.
This match will be played on Friday, August 5 at 7:05 p.m. (Pacific time) at Kraken Stadium. Chivas has been a master in salvaging draws in its two away games this season, so a draw here is likely.
Prediction: Tie.
Santos vs. Cruz Azul
Santos Laguna will be motivated for this encounter since they have returned to winning ways after three games without a win. The team has now two wins, one draw and two losses in five games played, despite the inconsistency.
They will face a Cruz Azul team that’s also returned to winning ways after a four-game losing streak. Only one point keeps these teams apart in the overall standings, as the “Máquina” has two wins, two draws and two defeats.
This match will be played on Saturday, August 6 at 7:05 p.m. (Pacific time) at Estadio Corona. Santos has not lost in its three home matches, making it the favorite in this encounter.
Prediction: Victory for Santos.
Pachuca vs. Tigres
Pachuca had only one loss in six games, but it doesn’t mean they’re doing well, since they’ve gone four games without a win. In three of these games, they were unable to register a point.
They will face the leader in the standings, Tigres, which has five consecutive victories. The team from Monterrey will try to extend this positive streak in order to stay in first place overall.
This match will be played on Sunday, August 7 at 4:05 pm (Pacific time) at Hidalgo Stadium.Tigres is in better form and has won its last two away games, so we anticipate them to take all three points in this encounter.
Prediction: Tigres win.
