The Cruz Azul vs Tijuana match will be broadcast on Univision, TUDN, the TUDN app, and tudn.com starting at 8:10 PM ET / 5:10 PM PT. 'La Máquina Celeste' will host 'Los Xolos' at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes to determine their place in the Apertura 2024 Liga MX semifinals.

Cruz Azul will seek to overturn the 3-0 deficit with the support of their fans and their offensive power at home, while Tijuana aims to defend their lead with a solid performance and capitalize on any opportunities to seal the series.

How Does Cruz Azul Arrive?

Cruz Azul faces a tough challenge after suffering a resounding 3-0 loss in the first leg in Tijuana. Despite this setback, Martín Anselmi's side finished the regular season as undisputed leaders, amassing 42 points with 13 wins, 3 draws, and just one loss. Their strength was demonstrated in significant victories such as 4-1 against América and 2-0 over Santos Laguna at home.

In their recent regular-season matches, La Máquina showed slight inconsistencies with consecutive draws against Tigres and Atlas. However, their home record has been a key asset this season, with near-perfect results and a lethal attack that they will aim to replicate this Saturday.

How Does Tijuana Arrive?

Tijuana enters the match with a comfortable advantage after defeating Cruz Azul with a convincing 3-0 win in the first leg at Estadio Caliente. Throughout the tournament, Tijuana was one of the most solid teams at home, though their away performance raised some concerns. They finished seventh in the standings with 29 points, showcasing an offensive style that shone in matches like 4-2 against Chivas and 3-1 versus Santos Laguna.

In recent weeks, Juan Carlos Osorio's team has gained confidence, defeating Atlas in the Play-In and delivering their best performance in the first leg against Cruz Azul. However, they must stay focused to withstand the pressure in a stadium that historically hasn’t been kind to them.
