Background

The record leans towards Cruz Azul as they have met on 15 occasions, leaving a record of 8 wins for the Cementeros, 2 draws and 5 victories for the Academia, so that tomorrow despite so many casualties, the favourites to take the 3 points will be the Celestes as with the reinforcements a very solid and more competitive team is expected for this Apertura 2023.

Absences

For this match, both teams will be without Oziel Herrera because he is on national team duty and Julian Quiñones because of his recent signing with America, while Cruz Azul will be without Charlie Rodriguez and Uriel Antuna because of their Gold Cup selection and Rodrigo Huescas and Rafael Guerrero because of their participation in the Central American and Caribbean Games 2023. Without a doubt, the Cementeros will have the most absentees, players who will undoubtedly be missing on the pitch for tomorrow's match.

How is Cruz Azul coming along?

For their part, La Maquina came from losing their last friendly match against America 3-1, had many casualties, the most important of which were Julio Cesar Dominguez, Jose de Jesus Corona and Rafael Baca, and among the most important for the team coached by Ricardo Ferretti are Carlos Salcedo, Moises Vieira, Kevin Castaño among the most important, and have been reinforced in a good way to seek the 10th star in this campaign with a much more competitive squad, this is how the Celestes arrive at their debut in the Mx League in the Apertura 2023.

How does Atlas arrive?

The rojinegros come from playing their last preparation match against Tepatitlan where they tied with one goal, they will not be able to count on Oziel Herrera as he is concentrating with the national team in the Gold Cup and they will not be able to count on Julian Quiñones as he will become a new striker for America, they will try to open in the best way at home in this first match day, remember that only 3 matches will be played before the start of the Leagues Cup, in this way the academy arrives at the beginning of the Apertura 2023.
