Best Tip: Cruz Azul to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this game, and it's Cruz Azul. Their recent form stats show what they've got in their locker at home, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they've got a track record against Necaxa too. The odds point towards Martin Anselmi's side coming out on top in the win / draw / win market, and that's our strong prediction for Sunday morning too.
