The Liga MX Playoffs will be played this weekend, and it is the last chance for the teams that did not have a good regular phase to fight for the title.
The Liga MX Playoffs has four places reserved for the quarterfinals of the Clausura 2022, but there are eight teams that will have to compete for them.
The matches promise to be entertaining, as they are direct elimination matches, and the teams that finished the regular season in a better position in the standings have the advantage of being able to play at home.
However, we know that in soccer there are always surprises, so we recommend you not to miss them.
Cruz Azul vs Necaxa
Cruz Azul made several mistakes in the regular phase and knows that this time they cannot fail. They will be playing at home, but that does not guarantee a victory, as they have lost their last two home games.
The fact that Necaxa is the opponent to beat does not improve the situation much, since in their last meeting, Los Rayos won by a score of 1-2 at the Azteca Stadium, and they are now in better shape than they were then. This match will be played on Saturday, May 7 at 15:45 (Pacific time) at the Azteca Stadium.
Monterrey vs Atletico San Luis
Monterrey fell one point short of a place in the top four of the tournament to avoid the Liga MX playoffs. Perhaps they will take this match as revenge, since when they faced San Luis in matchday 7 they lost at home by a score of 2-0. Both teams have lacked consistency, but they know that everything is at stake here.
This match will be played on Saturday, May 7 at 6:00 p.m. (Pacific time) at BBVA Stadium.
Puebla vs Mazatlan
Curiously, these two rivals met on the last day of the regular phase, and now they will face each other once again. The situation is similar, since on the 17th date of the Clausura 2022, both were looking for a win that would give them three points to qualify for the next round. In that game, the winner was Mazatlán by a score of 2-0, but that game was played on Sinaloa, and they will not have the support of their fans here.
Puebla had a better performance in the first half of the season, but the cannonball team has the momentum with four consecutive victories.
This match will be played on Sunday, May 8 at 15:00 (Pacific Time) at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium.
Guadalajara vs Pumas
Guadalajara won the last four games of the regular phase to qualify for the Liga MX playoffs, and one of those victories was against Pumas by a score of 3-1. These teams were already rivals, but this recent result will surely hurt the ego of the university team, which has just lost the Conchampions final and will be looking to stay alive in the local competition.
This match will be played on Sunday, May 8 at 17:15 (Pacific Time) at Akron Stadium.
