Morelia lost the pass against Leones Negros

Canary Islands
Morelia and Alebrijes have faced each other five times, in which the Canaries have won four times and tied once, Alebrijes have not been able to win and tonight would be the ideal scenario to pull off the upset, we will see if the level of Alebrijes is enough to beat the current champion.
For the bicampeonato
Morelia will seek to repeat the feat of the previous tournament, which was to take the championship against a favorite Atlante, tonight they will define a place in the Liguilla when they face Alebrijes de Oaxaca, who with 20 points were able to enter this phase, there is no tomorrow for both teams so the show is guaranteed.

Alebrijes much to gain and little to lose
The Alebrijes team has had very irregular tournaments, from being in the last places to being leader in the Clausura 2022, for this tournament the team finished in the 11th position with 20 points, the closing of the tournament for this team was bad; However, the regulations give them one more opportunity to enter the fight for the championship, in a league where the important thing is to transcend and train players, the more duels the better for the team, even though there is no promotion, this team knows that winning the championship means money that they can invest in the stadium and thus have the permits to fight for promotion when it is reactivated, but before thinking about titles they must beat the current champion.
Morelia to defend its title
Atletico Morelia is a team with a long tradition in the state, undoubtedly the disappearance in the first division caused a lot of commotion, because it was an animator of Liga MX, we all know that its place was taken by Mazatlan and this team had to re-emerge again, but apparently it has done things well, this team was champion in the Clausura 2022 defeating Atlante in the final, Undoubtedly an unexpected championship that brought a lot of joy to the people of Morelia, now for this Apertura 2022 the team is classified sixth with 26 points, so it will have to fight for a place in the playoffs and thus fight in the playoffs for the title, high expectations are what the fans have for this team and the champion must respond.
