Predictions for Matchday 10 Games in Apertura 2022 of Liga MX
Necaxa vs Guadalajara
Necaxa is coming off its first draw of the tournament with a 2-2 draw against Puebla, and now has four wins, one draw and four losses. The team has struggled with consistency, but it still ranks in the top half of the overall standings. They haven’t won in their last two games, and this is the first time they have played two games without being able to win.
Guadalajara tied 1-1 against Atlas in the Clasico Tapatio; although it is a positive result, the red and white team is going through a crisis as they haven’t been able to win in the eight games played in the Apertura 2022, with six draws and two defeats.
The match will be played on Friday, August 19 at 17:00 hours (Pacific Time) at Estadio Victoria. Because both teams are coming off draws, this match could end in a tie.
Prediction: Tie.
Monterrey vs. Tigres
Monterrey has been solid in this Apertura 2022, with six wins, two draws and just one loss in nine games and an eight-game unbeaten streak. They are coming from a mid-week 1-1 draw against Toluca and will be looking for three points in this match to aspire to become the overall leader.
Tigres faltered but got back on track in their last match with a 2-0 win over Santos Laguna. So far, they have six wins and two losses in eight games and are in third place overall. They have the best defense, having conceded only six goals.
This match will be played on Saturday, August 20 at 5:05 p.m. (Pacific time) at BBVA Bancomer Stadium. Rayados is expected to come out on top in this Clasico Regio because they will be playing at home and have a perfect record with three wins in three home games.
Prediction: Monterrey wins.
Atlas vs. Puebla
Atlas is paying the price for inconsistency and is competing at the bottom of the overall standings, having won only two of its nine matches. They come into this match with two games without a win, after losing the most recent one by 0-1 against Juárez.
Puebla is coming off a 2-2 draw with Necaxa in its most recent match, its fourth straight draw, and despite going that long without losing, the Puebla team has not won in seven matches this season.
This match will be played on Saturday, August 20 at 5:05 p.m. (Pacific time) at the Jalisco Stadium. Given the difficulty that both are having in winning, we could see a draw here.
Prediction: Tie.
America vs. Cruz Azul
América has improved its level considerably and this has been reflected in its position in the general table, as the team is now in the top half of the standings. They are coming off their third consecutive victory after defeating Pachuca by a score of 0-3.
Cruz Azul has collapsed and this is largely due to the fact that they have the worst defense of the season with 18 goals conceded. They have only won twice in nine games and are coming here with three consecutive defeats, after losing 1-2 to Tijuana.
This match will be played on Saturday, August 20 at 7:05 p.m. (Pacific time) at the Azteca Stadium. The Azteca Stadium is the home of these two teams, but it is the “Azulcremas” who are in the best shape, so the three points are expected to go to them, taking advantage of the momentum.
Prediction: Club América wins.
