The Xolos still haven’t experienced victory in this championship, having lost 2-3 to Pumas and drawing 1-1 with Necaxa. This is something they are accustomed to, considering they have only won three times in their last ten matches.
However, they excel at home, having only suffered two setbacks in their last 12 matches. It’s noteworthy that in seven of those matches, they ended in a draw.
In fact, Tijuana was the team that drew the most matches in the Clausura 2023 when playing at home (6), and the second least when playing away (1), only behind Pachuca (0).
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that in three of their last five matches, there were more than two goals scored. At Caliente, the Over (2.5) bet has odds of (-118), and if you choose it, you can win $85 for every $100 bet.

Betting on Cruz Azul (+195 at Caliente)
Cruz Azul is having a rough time and lost both of their recent matches against Atlas and Toluca, with a score of 2-0 in both matches. They have been defeated in three out of their last four games, and have only won two out of their last eight.
After finishing in eighth place in the previous domestic tournament, the Cementeros will try to improve their performance on the road. In away games, they were one of the most heavily scored against teams in the top 10, along with the Tuzos, with 13 goals conceded.
Furthermore, when playing away from home, La Máquina has been one of the weakest teams, with only two victories in nine games. The most concerning part is that they have only scored one goal in their last 270 minutes of play.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Andrés Gudiño; Cristian Jiménez, Carlos Salcedo, Juan Escobar; Ignacio Rivero, Kevin Castaño, Erik Lira, Carlos Rotondi; Cristian Tabo, Moisés Vieira; Diber Cambindo.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Tijuana vs Cruz Azul
It’s now or never. Since 2018, Cruz Azul has only lost once against this same competitor when they visited the Caliente Stadium. However, the noteworthy fact is that in five out of those six matches, both teams found the back of the net, so at JefeBet, we foresee excitement on both sides of the field.
