Clausura MX 2025: Quarterfinals Update

The Liguilla of the Clausura MX 2025 has reached the quarterfinal stage, and with two the first legs completed, all four matchups remain contested. As we head into the decisive second legs, each club looks to secure a spot in the semifinals.

Monterrey pulled off a comeback at home. After falling behind, they turned the tide in their favor, winning 3-2 against Toluca.

On the other hand, the clash between Club América and Pachuca ended in a goalless draw. América will now enjoy home advantage and look to capitalize on Pachuca’s missed opportunities.

Necaxa and Tigres UANL still have to play the first leg match, the same as Cruz Azul and Leon, who will battle it out today.

Clausura MX 2025 Quarterfinals: Toluca x Monterrey

Toluca, the tournament’s top seed, faces a one-goal deficit but returns home, where they’ve been formidable. With Paulinho leading the attack, Toluca is poised to overturn the deficit and test Monterrey’s defense.

Monterrey has shown resilience, but with Segio Ramos and Erick Aguirre doubtful for this encounter, the away challenge could be much harder than they might expect, and the defense could suffer.

We believe Toluca could take the series, winning 2-1 at home.

Toluca vs Monterrey Betting Pick: Toluca

Clausura MX 2025 Quarterfinals: Club América vs Pachuca

Club América, known for its defensive solidity, will capitalize on its home advantage. With a strong track record and a disciplined backline, they are likely to edge out Pachuca in a closely contested match.

Pachuca could not take matters into hands in the first leg, and given both Clubs’ recent defensive strength, a narrow margin could determine the winner.

However, we believe Club América will come in on top, 1-0.

Club America vs Pachuca Betting Pick: América

Clausura MX 2025 Quarterfinals: Nexaca vs. Tigres UANL

Necaxa, under the guidance of Nicolas Larcamon, concluded the Liga MX regular season in fifth place with 36 goals. On the other hand, Tigres UANL, led by Guido Pizarro, finished fourth with 33 points and is seeking redemption after their recent elimination in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals.

We believe Tigres could take the initiative in this first leg, winning 2-1.

Necaxa vs. Tigres UANL Betting Pick: Tigres

Clausura MX 2025 Quarterfinals: León x Cruz Azul

Leon struggled with consistency late in the season, while Cruz Azul entered the Liguilla in peak form, having won seven of their last eight matches. La Maquina also recently earned a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final, which speaks volumes about their current level.

Cruz Azul’s momentum should give them the edge in this first leg. Leon will likely find the net at home, but Cruz Azul’s counterattack and midfield balance make them difficult to contain over 90 minutes.

We believe the match will end 1-2 in Cruz Azul’s favor.

Leon vs. Cruz Azul Betting Pick: Cruz Azul
