Player to watch: Georgios Giakoumakis
The Greek goalscoring machine hasn’t been at his lethal best in recent gameweeks. Sure, he still has six goals under his belt for the home side in Liga MX, but we believe he needs to do better if he wants to book more minutes as a starter for his club.
Second player to watch: Lorenzo Faravelli
Coach Torrent has to respect Faravelli, as the home side’s attacking midfielder has found the net on five occasions this season. We see him as the key threat to our professional Cruz Azul vs Atletico San Luis predictions.
