Liga MX Matchday 8 \u2013 Preview and Free Picks<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Matchday 8 of the Torneo Apertura of Mexico<\/a><\/strong> begins on Thursday, with three strong teams at the top, who are beginning to take advantage of their rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toluca <\/strong>premieres its leadership this weekend and will do so by visiting Cruz Azul <\/strong>in one of the good games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its part, Monterrey<\/strong>, second in the tournament, has a tough stop when it visits Necaxa<\/strong>, fifth, in another of the great games of this Matchday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third in the table, Tigres<\/strong>, lost their unbeaten record and leadership last game against Pachuca<\/strong>, so they hope to get rid of that thorn against Santos <\/strong>and recover the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, this weekend we will have the\u00a0Tapat\u00edo\u00a0classic<\/strong>\u00a0between\u00a0Chivas and Atlas<\/strong>, two teams that are at a very bad moment, but what better time to recover than against their neighbor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toluca <\/strong>comes to this game as the leader of the tournament with 17 points, although with one match more than the rest. Last weekend they achieved a good victory against Tijuana <\/strong>by 3-1 which, together with the defeat of Tigres<\/strong>, put them in the first place, where they hope to stay to make use of the sporting advantage in the finals. Midfielder Leonardo Fern\u00e1ndez is one of the best players in the tournament so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruz Azul<\/strong>, for its part, was beaten by Santos <\/strong>4-0 and is not having a good tournament. As if that were not enough, with the absence of its former goalscorer, Santiago Gim\u00e9nez, transferred to Feyenoord<\/strong>, now it is more difficult for them on the attacking front. The Machine is 11th in the tournament with only 8 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great game this Friday in Aguascalientes. Necaxa <\/strong>just beat Atl\u00e9tico San Luis<\/strong> 1-2 and climbed to fifth place in the tournament with 12 points, the same as fourth and three less from third. The Electrics have been quite even in this tournament with 4 wins and 3 losses, in addition to 8 goals for and 7 against. At home, they won 2 and lost 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Rayados is on a roll. They are 6 games undefeated with 5 wins, they only fell on the first Matchday of the tournament in an incredible match with Santos <\/strong>(4-3). In their last game, they thrashed Le\u00f3n <\/strong>5-1 and they are the team that has scored the most goals in the tournament: 17. Argentine striker Germ\u00e1n Berterame may not be available for this match since on Wednesday he will be in the game between MLS and MX League<\/strong>. Goalkeeper Esteban Andrada has already played with the U-20s and could return very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Necaxa vs. Monterrey Betting Pick: Monterrey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Liga MX Matchday 8: Tigres vs. Santos Laguna<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tigres <\/strong>lost the last game against Pachuca <\/strong>(2-0) and lost the lead, in addition to breaking its streak of 5 consecutive victories and only 1 goal against. That is why the Feline team will go out with everything this Sunday, to recover what was lost and try to climb positions in the table. They will not be able to count on defenders Jes\u00fas Angulo (red card) and Igor Lichnovsky (accumulation of yellow cards), so it is very likely that Hugo Ayala will start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santos <\/strong>has been improving and has won two in a row, the last with a 4-0 win against Cruz Azul<\/strong>, and has already reached the sixth place with 10 points. In addition, they are the third best attack in the tournament with 11 well-distributed goals, since 9 players have scored. However, those from Torre\u00f3n have not been able to win at the Universitario stadium since 2015 and in the last 9 visits, they lost 8 and drew 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tigres vs. Santos Laguna Betting Pick: Tigres<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Liga MX Matchday 8: Chivas vs. Atlas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When<\/strong>: Saturday, August 13 at 10:05 pm ET<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moneyline odds:<\/strong> Chivas +118 \/ Atlas +265 (Source: MyBookie.ag)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draw Offs<\/strong>: +214<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Can I Watch?<\/strong> Telemundo \/ Peacock \/ UNIVERSO<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not the best time for the Tapat\u00edo classic<\/strong>. Chivas <\/strong>comes at a very bad time. They have 9 games without winning and they have not been able to do it in this tournament. They just lost with Mazatl\u00e1n by 2-1 and are penultimate in the championship with 5 points, only above Quer\u00e9taro. In addition, in the last 4 classics, there were 2 victories for Atlas<\/strong>, both away, and 2 draws. Fernando Beltr\u00e1n and Alexis Vega are called for the All-Star Game and may not play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlas <\/strong>is the two-time champion of Mexican soccer, but in this tournament, they have not had a good start. They are 13th with 7 points and last weekend they added their second victory (3-1 to Quer\u00e9taro<\/strong>). One of the confirmed casualties for this match will be Hugo Nervo, with a red card, but they will also have several doubts since 6 of their starters are also summoned for the All-Star Game between the MLS and Liga MX<\/strong> that will be played on Wednesday in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
