This Tuesday begins Matchday 9 of the Liga MX and we will have a great duel that no follower will want to miss.
Toluca and Monterrey, first and second, face each other for the leadership of the tournament. It will be a high-caliber match that will paralyze Mexican soccer.
Pachuca, who could not play this weekend due to the incidents that occurred in Ciudad Juárez, returns to action at home against a rising América.
Necaxa wants to recover lost ground this Tuesday when they visit a Puebla that dreams of getting into the top four.
For their part, Santos and León come from defeats that have them on the tightrope, so both will play this Thursday with the obligation to win if they want to be among those classified for the playoffs.

Toluca is coming off an important victory against Cruz Azul (2-3) thanks to Camilo Sanvezzo’s goal at minute 90+8 and remains the leader of the tournament, although they have one more game than the rest. Los Diablos Rojos have gone 6 games undefeated with 4 wins, and in this championship, they only lost once, on Matchday 3 against América 1-0.
Monterrey, for its part, beat Necaxa 1-2 and have gone 7 games without defeat with 6 wins. It is the team that has scored the most goals, with the best average and that has been showing the best soccer. They are the strongest candidate for the title.

Pachuca arrives rested for this game after not playing their game against Juárez over the weekend, as there were some problems in Ciudad Juárez. That is why los Tuzos will be rested, but knowing that they have to win or they leave the group of 4.
América is getting better. After finishing all its friendly matches in the United States and focusing again on the league, they have already won two in a row, the last one this weekend in the Capitalino classic against Pumas (0-3), taking away their unbeaten record, so they come excited.

Puebla achieved an agonizing draw in its last game against Tijuana (3-3) with goals from Jozy Altidore at minute 85 and from Israel Reyes at 90+9′, who has them in sixth place and dreaming of getting into the top four that are straight to the quarterfinals.
Necaxa failed to take advantage of the lead they had at home against Monterrey and lost 1-2. They now have 4 wins and 4 losses in the tournament, as well as scoring and conceding 9 goals. It is a team that in the 26 games they have played in the year, have only equaled 3, all in the previous tournament, and one was in the playoffs for which it had to define on penalties.

Santos could not resist in its visit against Tigres, one of the leaders, and fell 2-0 giving a fight, especially in the second half when they had numerical superiority due to Rafael Carioca’s red card. As locals they have not lost in the tournament, winning 3 games and drawing the other, scoring 10 goals and conceding 4.
León, for its part, suffered a surprise defeat at home against Mazatlán (0-3) and have two falls in a row and 3 in their last 4 games. Very bad tournament for Renato Paiva’s team that in the last championship did not qualify for the playoffs and in this one, they are in danger of doing so again.
Santos vs. León Betting Pick: Santos
