Player to watch: Angel Sepulveda
Angel Sepulveda of Cruz Azul is probably the only player who has a chance to knock Paulinho of Toluca from his pedestal as the best finisher in Liga MX. With nine goals scored so far, Sepulveda is proving to be a quality choice in the attack for Cruz Azul.
Second player to watch: Lorenzo Faravelli
We think Lorenzo Faravelli’s playmaking abilities will help him get some minutes this week. Our key Mazatlan vs Cruz Azul predictions rely heavily on the attacking midfielder, as he has five goals and three assists to his name already.
