The Querétaro Roosters can still qualify for re-qualification, but to do so, they will have to win all three of their remaining matches and hope for a combination of results to qualify.

With the combination of results and a draw between Monterrey and Atlas, if Cruz Azul wins on Thursday, it could climb to fourth place in the standings and depend on itself to qualify directly for the playoffs.

The antepenultimate Liga MX fixture comes to a close when the Querétaro Roosters host, without a home crowd, the Cruz Azul Cementera. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

He has yet to earn a starting role, but every time Santiago Giménez is on the field he is synonymous with danger because of the height he possesses and the ability to find himself in front of the opponent's goal. Juan Reynoso has been criticized a lot by the Blue fans, who have said that the "bebote" should have more minutes.

Ángel Sepúlveda has had an outstanding season as an individual, who is being the team's reference in the attack and contributes both in the generation of chances as well as in his own finishing.

33 Sebastián Jurado, 5 Luis Abram, 23 Pablo Aguilar, 16 Adrián Aldrete, 4 Julio Domínguez, 6 Erik Lira, 15 Ignacio Rivero, 22 Rafael Baca, 20 Iván Morales, 9 Ángel Romero, 7 Uriel Antuna.

The Máquina Cementera de la Cruz Azul had its worst week since Juan Reynoso's tenure when it was eliminated from the Concachampions by Pumas UNAM, in addition to losing 0-1 at home to Chivas Guadalajara over the weekend, where the Celeste team was somewhat inoperative in attack. Now they will have to turn the page and score a victory that will help them get closer to the goal of qualifying for the top four.

Despite being at the bottom of the general table, the Gallos Blancos del Querétaro have not had good luck and proof of this was what happened last Saturday when Santos Laguna tied them in the last game and extended their winless streak as visitors. Now at home, without their fans, they will try to get a victory to try to qualify for the playoffs.

The Queretaro vs Cruz Azul match will be played at the Corregidora Stadium, in Queretaro, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 pm ET.
