⭐ Editor's Prediction
Despite the goals in the opening matches, this one could go a different way. Both managers will have noted the defensive lapses from round one and look to tighten things up. In Liga MX, games between evenly matched sides tend to turn into tactical affairs with little space to exploit. We don't expect this to be any different. We're backing total goals under 2.5. A 0-1 scoreline wouldn't surprise us.
