Mexican League will see Mainz facing off against Cruz Azul on Saturday, 09 April 2022 at 07:30 AM IST
Mazatlan will be looking to break their seven-game winless streak in Liga MX when they host Cruz Azul at the Estadio de Mazatlan on Friday.
The hosts fell to a 1-0 loss against Atletico San Luis in their previous league outing and they remained in 17th place in the league standings. Cruz Azul returned to winning ways in the league with a 1-0 home win against Atlas last week.
They faced local rivals Pumas UNAM in the first leg fixture of the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday. They suffered a 2-1 loss in the away leg, with Juan Ignacio Dinenno bagging a first-half brace. They are back in action in the competition next Tuesday, so might choose to rotate their squad for this routine league game.
