Liga MX is getting close to its thrilling conclusion, with the semi-finals of the playoffs coming up this weekend. We’ve looked closely at the four remaining teams and what their odds tell us about their prospects.
Atletico San Luis
The odds to win Liga MX for Atletico San Luis puts them firmly as the underdog. They’re currently at +185 at Sportzino, meaning they have the shortest odds of any team in the semis. As they’re at home in the first leg of the semi-final, it shows how most people believe Atletico San Luis won’t make it through.
They finished sixth in the table, so they won’t expect much from their game against Monterrey.
Monterrey
Monterrey are on the road in their first semi-final leg against Atletico San Luis. It will be a challenging game, even though they’re the favorites with odds of +145. They will be expected to make it through to the final, but it depends on who they play if they achieve more than second place.
If Club America makes it to the final, Monterrey becomes the favorite. However, Monterrey will be a substantial underdog if Cruz Azul is the opposing finalist. As a result, Monterrey fans will keep a close eye on the other semi-final.
Club America
Club America has experienced a significant fall from grace. As the most successful team in Mexican soccer history, the club’s hierarchy sees finishing eighth and scraping into the playoffs as a failure. However, they made it to the semi-finals, beating second-placed Toluca along the way.
Despite this, they’re the underdogs in the semi-final, coming up against Cruz Azul, the top team in the league. They have odds of +171 going into this game, which makes them the underdogs. However, they’ve already overcome the odds once; they have a chance of doing it again.
Cruz Azul
Cruz Azul finished top of the league, but they had a scare in the previous round. They snuck through against Club Tijuana, giving them a place in the semi-final against eighth-placed Club America. Despite having the advantage over the league season, both teams have different form going into these games.
Cruz Azul is still the favorite, with odds of +154, but recent form means that Club America has a chance. However, Cruz Azul will be confident, and if they can convincingly beat Club America, they will be the clear favorites to win the final. Cruz Azul is our pick to win the playoffs, and as long as they don’t suffer any serious injuries, they should be able to add another trophy to their collection.
