The Play-In Phase of this Clausura 2024 of Liga MX is history and we already know the eight teams that will be present, with two historic institutions Pachuca and América.
The fight for supremacy in Liga MX is on fire, as all teams want to dethrone América and prevent them from becoming outright champions. However, as we have observed throughout the 17 rounds of the regular season, it is most likely that the Águilas will go as far as possible in this Liguilla.

Why Bet on Pachuca?
Pachuca has had a Clausura MX 2024 full of ups and downs, as they were unable to qualify directly for the Liguilla despite finishing with nine wins, just like third-placed Toluca. They had nine victories, two draws, and six defeats, which kept them in seventh place in the standings.
As a result, the team played for their lives in the Play-In matches, where they were very close to being out of this Liguilla. In the first match, they were unable to beat Pumas UNAM at home and ended up losing 5-3 on penalties, following a 0-0 draw in regulation time.
However, the team was able to show a better level of play in the second and final opportunity last Sunday, May 5, against Necaxa. In this match, Pachuca took the lead with goals from Alán Bautista (’79) and Salomón Rondón (’83), to gain confidence in the final stretch. Finally, just seconds before the end of the match, Necaxa scored the consolation goal through Bryan Garnica in minute 90+6.
Now, they have to face the best team in Liga MX at the moment.
Why Bet on América?
On the other hand, América is emerging as the main favorite to win the championship trophy in the Clausura MX 2024. Let’s remember that the Águilas won the title in the Apertura MX 2023, so they will be eager to win the title of absolute champions this season.
The Águilas finished in first place in the regular season and, as a result, earned direct qualification to the quarterfinals of the Playoffs. In addition, they have the advantage of playing all the second-leg matches of this definitive phase, whether in the quarterfinals, Semifinals, or finals, at the Azteca Stadium.
Club América ended its regular season with a 2-1 victory over Puebla. However, on May 1, 2024, they lost to Pachuca in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals with a score of 2-1.
Final Betting Analysis: Pachuca vs. América
In the last 20 matches between these two teams, América dominates the series with nine wins. Pachuca, on the other hand, has accumulated seven triumphs, while four duels have ended in draws.
