Pachuca vs Cruz Azul
1st Leg Ended 2-1 For Cruz Azul
This will be the sixth final Cruz Azul play in. their 0-5 in championship games so far over the last two years.
My pick Pachuca reasons below
better offensively
want to play club world cup again = motivation
Cruz Azul downward spiral got eliminated from Mexican Play offs because they couldn't beat a Chivas team that was without 6 of their starting players and basically fielded teenagers against a complete Cruz Azul squad.
This return game is quet unpredictable.
Neither team is in good shape, especially not Pachuca.
Their last win against crapp Tigres does not show anything.
-There is one big problem when taking here Pachuca >>>
-Miguel Callero , keeper of Pachuca , is the weakest point of this team. he have many many credits by Pachuca DT , but now he does not deserve to be between the bars. Long long time he is primary keeper , but as soon as Pachuca DT remove him , this team will do better. Those who watch mexican league clearly know what am I talking about.
-So speaking that defence of Cruz Azul sucks, is not apropriate reasoning, becouse I rate Cruz Azul far better team at the moment than Pachuca. If we forget last win over Tigres 1-2 , and go deeply back to previous results of Pachuca we can easily say that they just got "lucky" entering playoffs.
Speaking of attack... Cruz Azul with their argentineans functioned much better than Pachuca`s attack which was incapable to do anything before last round ...
Cruz Azul is better offensively when they couldnt bet a basically under-22 Chivas.
Cruz Azul have Chaco Gimenez who played perfectly while at Pachuca and has shown nothing at Azul, on the other hand Pachuca have La chilindrina who can create offense something Cruz Azul cannot do.
your reasoning for picking Cruz Azul is not rationale when betting money, you reasoning reads like that of a fan.
also Pachuca won 2-1 which they had to due in order to play in the playoffs, Cruz Azul had to do the same while playing at home and couldnt.
also football is 90 minutes if Cruz Azul feel they can go to Pachuca and only play the last 10 minutes of the game their dead wrong.
