Exclusive Mazatlan vs Cruz Azul Predictions for Liga MX
In this article, you’ll find our key Mazatlan vs Cruz Azul picks and betting tips for this week’s clash.
Contents
Over 1.5 Cruz Azul Goals
Sure, the games between the two teams rarely give any box-office Liga MX moments but we still fancy Cruz Azul’s chance to score two or more against Mazatlan on the 4th of March. Coach Ricardo Ferretti’s side did that twice in the past and considering Mazatlan are the punching bang in Liga MX this season, Cruz Azul can do it again.
The home side conceded 22 goals in eight matches. The only other team that comes remotely close to those horrific numbers is Santos Laguna with 19 goals conceded.
Cruz Azul to Win
The head-to-head history between the two teams isn’t that long but it was enough for our soccer experts to spot a pattern. With three victories for Cruz Azul, one draw, and only one Mazatlan win, it’s fair to say that the visitors on Saturday are the dominant force in this rivalry.
Furthermore, Mazatlan didn’t win a single game in this Clausura race. It’s highly unlikely that coach Ruben Romano’s first win this season will be against one of the most prolific Mexican teams.

Mazatlan odds: +255 – 26.5%
Draw odds: +245 – 26.0%
Cruz Azul odds: +110 – 47.5%
At +110, Cruz Azul have a massive 47.5% chance to win this game while the second most likely outcome is a Mazatlan win at +255 (26.5). Nevertheless, we can’t make a case for a team with zero victories this season to even get a draw at +245 (26.0%) so we advise you to listen to our key Mazatlan vs Cruz Azul prediction.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Mazatlan
No matter what changes coach Ruben Romano opts to make, Mazatlan just can’t find the route to victory. With zero victories, one draw, and seven losses in eight Clausura games, Mazatlan barely have a point to their name and that’s something that will take its toll on the players on Saturday when they meet a point-hungry Cruz Azul at Estadio Mazatlan.
Predicted lineup – Vikonis (GK), Padilla, Almada, Alanis, Venegas, Montano, Intriago, Meraz, Colman, Loba & Benedetti
Cruz Azul
After a dreadful Clausura start, Cruz Azul’s winning machine clicked into gear and now the team is performing at their usual level. With three consecutive Liga MX victories, coach Ricardo Ferretti’s side deserves to be the favorite in our Mazatlan vs Cruz Azul prediction. His boys earned 10 points in eight Clausura games but we’re convinced that the best is yet to come.
Predicted lineup – Corona (GK), Dominguez, Escobar, Funes, Rivero, Lira, Baca, Rotoundi, Antuna, Rodriguez & Lotti

Player to Watch: Carlos Rodriguez
Cruz Azul’s playmaker-in-chief will be the player to watch on Saturday. Carlos Rodriguez is leading both Cruz Azul’s goalscoring chart and the one for the top creators. With two goals and two assists since the start of the Clausura, Carlos Rodriguez will try to further boost his tally with a solid performance on Saturday which corresponds well with our key Mazatlan vs Cruz Azul predictions.
