The league that moves a country that loves this beautiful sport like soccer, Liga MX in its opening tournament in 2022, is already underway, where teams are looking for a way to start the season in the best possible way to be at the top of the standings now that no team is still at its optimum level.
In this new season, Atlas will try to win the championship trophy for the third consecutive time, as they have been the big winners of Liga MX in the last year of competition. Teams such as Puebla, Pachuca, and Monterrey are the main candidates for this not to happen, so we will be in the presence of a spectacular season.
Another of the attractions of this season is that the teams have signed high-profile players who have played a large part of their careers in Europe and chose Mexico to close their cycles as professional footballers, so, in addition to enjoying high-voltage matches in Liga MX, we will also be able to see great players.
Although the season is just beginning, and it is too early to draw any conclusions, we can see how Toluca, Puebla, and Pachuca have started with an excellent rhythm, especially Toluca, who has won their first two games comfortably.
Below, we will have a summary of the best games of this Liga MX matchday 3.

The best match that we will be able to enjoy this Liga MX matchday 3 is, without a doubt, the one that Toluca and América will play next Wednesday, July 13, 2022, which will be at the Azteca Stadium, home of América and the Mexican National Team.
Toluca is the team that has started this 2022 opening tournament in the best way, as they have shown a ruthless offense in the two matches they have played. Although they have also conceded several goals, Toluca has shown in two games that this tournament will fight for everything.
Toluca started the Apertura 2022 tournament with an excellent away win with a 3-1 score against Necaxa, and their second game was a somewhat complicated match against the current champions, Atlas, but they managed to win with a 3-2 score.
Thanks to this, Toluca is the leader of the standings along with Puebla and Pachuca with 6/6 points.
On the other hand, one of the most popular teams in Mexico, Club América has started this 2022 opening tournament with many doubts. América has not played in the best possible way in their first 2 games and, because of this, they are ranked #12 in the standings, with only 1 point out of 6 played.
América had a very complicated match on the first matchday against Atlas at the Azteca Stadium, where neither team was able to hurt the rival and ended with a 0-0 draw. Meanwhile, in the second match, América was unable to win in its visit to Monterrey and ended up losing with a score of 2-3.

With no time for regrets at the start of the opening tournament, we are already beginning to think about what will be day 3 of the Liga MX, which will have a truly great match that will be a kind of rematch between Cruz Azul and Atlas, to be played next Saturday, July 16, 2022, at the Jalisco Stadium, home of Atlas.
Atlas comes to this tournament with the mission of lifting the championship cup again, which would be the third in the last 3 tournaments. Despite this, Atlas has not been able to start the season as they would have liked, and right now they are ranked #13 in the standings, with a record of 1 draw and 1 loss, that is, they have only managed to get 1 point out of a possible 6.
–
In their first game, Atlas had an extremely complicated match against America where they ended in a 0-0 draw. Meanwhile, in their second match, Atlas was overwhelmed by Toluca. Although Atlas tried to come back, 2 goals were not enough, and they ended up losing with a score of 3-2.
On the other hand, Cruz Azul intends to return to being that fearsome team that was always fighting to be among the first places in the standings. Cruz Azul cannot be satisfied with the start of the season they have had, although, indeed, they have only played 2 games, they must try to have a defensive approach that will help them not to concede so many goals.
Cruz Azul is in seventh place in the standings thanks to a record of 1 win and 1 loss. In their first game, La Maquina had a very good win against Tigres UANL. While in their home match against Pachuca, they failed to achieve their goals and fell with a score of 1-2.

Finally, we will have another very good match to end this Liga MX matchday 3 previews, when Tigres will host Tijuana at the Universitario Stadium, a match to be played next Sunday, July 17, 2022.
Tigres are clear favorites to win this match, in addition to playing at home, the level of play they have in their squad is superior to that of Tijuana. Similarly, Tigres started this opening tournament with an unexpected defeat at home against Cruz Azul, with a score of 3-2.
In this match, Tigres managed to equalize the score on two occasions, but in the 93rd minute, from the penalty spot, Cruz Azul sentenced the match.
In the second match, Tigres achieved a very good victory against Mazatlán, with a score of 1-0.
On the other hand, we have Tijuana, another of the historical clubs in Liga MX that has not had good tournaments in recent years, and, hopefully, this one will be different.
Tijuana has not started on the right foot in this opening tournament, their first two games were fatal and showed that they are still in the bad moment that has haunted them for several years. Tijuana comes from losing their last game against Juarez, with a score of 0-2.
Tigres UANL vs. Tijuana Betting Pick: Tigres UANL
