The third weekend in the Mexican top flight might set a trend due to the key matchups taking place in the first days of the month.

Matchday 3 of the Apertura 2019 tournament was not what fans expected, which means that teams involved in this weekend's games will have to try a bit harder to satisfy their need for goals.

Santos, Atlas and Pumas will try to defend their unbeaten status, while clubs such as Juárez and Monterrey will try to win their first matches of the season. Meanwhile, América, León and Tigres will try to go back to winning ways after a disappointing weekend for three teams considered to be top contenders for the tournament's title.

Matchday 3 in the Apertura 2019 tournament will kick off, as usual, on Friday evening. Saturday will be a busy day, since five games will be held on August 3. The recently promoted team San Luis will be handed a bye due to the odd number of teams involved in this competition.

Without further ado, here are the two most relevant games scheduled to be played this weekend.

Monterrey vs León

Los Rayados lost against América on Matchday 1, which can be understandable given Las Aguilas' reputation as title contenders. Nevertheless, their baffling loss against San Luis last week has sparked doubs among their supporters, which forces Diego Alonso's men to put an end to that losing streak. Facing León at home won't be easy, especially since the Clausura 2019 runners-up were not able to win their match against América last weekend. With all things considered, this could be one of the best games of the season.

Pumas UNAM vs Tigres UANL

One of the three teams that is yet to lose a game faces one of the top title contenders. Pumas will have to show their best performance if they really want to be considered as an option to win the title, and Tigres will be a great test for them. The current title holders need to step it up a notch, following their 2-0 loss against Chivas last time out, in which they showed some flaws that Ferreti's men can't allow. The goal tally in this game could be high, so we encourage you to keep track of it.
