Player to watch: Angel Sepulveda

With nine goals to his name since the start of the season, Angel Sepulveda is proving to be a valuable player for the visitors. He is the 2nd-best finisher in Liga MX and we are sure that now, Paulinho of Toluca will work extra hard to keep his place at the top of the goalscoring charts in Mexico.

Second player to watch: Domingo Blanco

With his signature runs down the wing, Blanco of Tijuana will do his best to prove our key Tijuana vs Cruz Azul predictions correct. So far, he has three goals under his belt. However, we are confident he will score a few more by the end of the campaign.
