Believe it or not, we are getting towards the business end of the regular season, and it is time to start earning points for several teams if they want to make the Liguilla. Week 11 of Liga MX kicks off with the usual Friday night feature of two games.
Saturday's full slate of matches begin with Club America hosting Leon at the Estadio Azteca. Las Aguilas come into this game on the back of a Clasico Nacional victory over Chivas. They have lost only once in their last nine matches in all competitions and are unbeaten at home since late January. Everything seems to be clicking for Ignacio Ambriz's side.
But Leon sit second in the table with 19 points from 10 matches. Having lost only once in their last five, Luis Fernando Tena's men will be boosted by the presence of goalscorer Mauro Boselli, who has been injured for large parts of the season but scored twice in last week's victory over Queretaro. With Boselli healthy, Leon will want to continue keeping pace with league leaders Monterrey by earning all three points at the Estadio Azteca.
Speaking of league leaders Monterrey, the Rayados play host to Chivas at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer on Saturday night. Monterrey are quite simply the best side in Mexico at the moment. Even the suspension of Rogelio Funes Mori didn't stop them from beating Monarcas Morelia 3-1 last week.
Chances are Monterrey will perform well again at home, but that said, there is no better way for Chivas to rebound from Clasico defeat than by beating the league leaders in their own stadium. Having gone 2-0 down to Club America last week, the Rebaño Sagrado mounted a spirited comeback and came very short of grabbing a point against their arch-rivals. If they can play like they did at the height of that game, Monterrey may be in store for a tough game.
Finally, the week will end with the champions Tigres paying a visit to Puebla at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc. Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti's side is in something of an injury crisis, and their form of late has had them slip to sixth in the league table.
Meanwhile, when Puebla produce one of their better days at the Cuauhtemoc, they are a tough team to beat. Only one point separates La Franja from Tigres, and a win here could well see the champions move out of a playoff spot with six games to go in the regular season.
