Two clubs in opposite halves of the Liga MX table will do battle today in a league match between Morelia and Cruz Azul. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:39 p.m. ET will be held at the Morelos Stadium in Morelia and can be live streamed here free.
Flying two points clear of Toluca in the league table, Cruz Azul enter today's match looking to solidify their place atop Mexican football. That, however, will be easier said than done. La Máquina visit Morelos Stadium tonight, a location that has served as the backdrop of seven winless matches in the last seven visits.
Morelia currently sit mid-table and will look to boost their playoff chances with a victory. Unlike Cruz Azul—who have already punched their ticket to the Liguilla—they will have to wait for the final week to determine their postseason fate.
Will Morelia capture a much-needed three points at home tonight?
