Cruz Azul vs Club Tijuana Prediction

Cruz have a three-goal deficit to overcome and need to play on the front foot from the get-go. That could leave them susceptible to being caught out by Tijuana, but it's a risk Martin Anselmi’s side have to take.

Tijuana, for their part, have one foot in the next round but cannot afford to be complacent, owing to the quality of their hosts. Their three-goal cushion gives them a margin for error, and they are likely to sit back and protect their lead.

Expect the hosts to claim a multi-goal victory with goals at both ends but Tijuana to advance on aggregate.

Prediction: Cruz 3-1 Tijuana
