The Mexican top-flight returns to action after 130 days, with health concerns over the coronavirus pandemic still disrupting the competition.

Liga MX football is back despite the ensuing controversy it has brought among fans and experts. The competition will begin on Friday evening with Mexican execs seemingly more worried about the economic benefits of having football back rather than guarding the health of their players. If that was not enough reason to worry, COVID-19 cases keep rising among Liga MX footballers, but the league presidents have made one thing clear: there will not be any postponed games, even if an entire team is infected with the disease.

This tournament, which has been named "Guard1anes" (guardians) in honor of those who are fighting the disease up close, will bring the arrival of a new franchise: Mazatlán FC, who will take Morelia's spot in the competition. Their presence will bring a breath of fresh air to the league, which will also keep an eye on the Big Four that will try to keep up their battle for dominance in the Mexican top-flight.

Another major change in the competition will be the number of teams that will make it to the liguilla. Only four teams will earn a direct spot in the Mexican playoffs, while eight more will earn their spot via a newly created wild card series.

This will be the two top games to watch on Matchday 1. All games in the tournament will be held behind closed doors until further notice.

Cruz Azul vs Santos Laguna

Cruz Azul showed the best form in the Clausura 2020 tournament before it was cancelled, and they will try to show that has not changed when they host one of their bitter rivals. Robert Dante Siboldi's men are seen by many as the top candidate to win the title, but the pandemic and their rivals still have a say on this subject. For starters, playing Matchday 1's game against Santos will not be a walk in the park, and it might give fans and experts an idea on what to expect from La Máquina, a team that will try to end a 22-year title drought.

Pachuca vs América

Las Águilas had worrying results during their preseason games, and facing one of the toughest teams they can meet is not a good omen for Miguel Herrera and Co. On the other hand, Pachuca will try to go back to the form that saw them dominate the first decade of the century, and what better way to do so than giving América a headache and giving their fans something to talk about from Day 1.
