Cruz Azul vs Atletico San Luis prediction, preview, team news and more | Liga MX 2020-21
Cruz Azul host Atletico San Luis at Estadio Azteca in Liga MX on Saturday, with the Clausura title within sight.
Cruz Azul are two points ahead of Club America at the top of the league standings.
La Máquina need just four more points from their remaining two games to be confirmed winners, provided their goal-difference remains better than America's.
If the Eagles somehow slip up in the meantime, it wouldn't matter, but the race seems to be heading right down to the wire.
The Clasico Joven rivals shared the spoils last weekend as both sides netted a penalty each in a 1-1 draw.
Atletico San Luis are already out of the reckoning for the Liguilla quarter-finals but can still qualify for the Reclassification. To do that, they'll have to win both their remaining games and hope the sides above them drop points.
However, the Athletics haven't won any of their last eight games and they've lost their last six in a row.
Cruz Azul vs Atletico San Luis Head-To-Head
There have been 25 clashes between the sides, with Cruz Azul winning 11 times and San Luis beating them on eight occasions.
La Máquina also secured a 3-1 victory in San Luis when the sides met in Apertura back in August.
