How Is Cruz Azul Performing?

Cruz Azul comes into this match after a 1-1 draw against Puebla in the previous matchday. The team showed slight improvement in their offensive play, managing to equalize in the second half after trailing early. Despite their struggles, the "Cementeros" displayed some creativity in midfield, although they still face issues with finishing in the attacking third. Defensively, they committed errors that led to an early goal, highlighting areas that need improvement under their interim coaches.

In their two prior matches, Cruz Azul failed to secure a victory. They suffered a 1-0 loss to FC Juarez, a game where they dominated possession but lacked depth and precision. Before that, they drew 1-1 with Atlas in their debut match, showing flashes of quality but failing to convert clear chances. This winless streak has left them in an uncomfortable position, making this match a must-win to climb the standings.
