La Máquina is one step away from returning to a title match, but Pumas will not be an easy rival for Siboldi's men. Keep track of this game with our guide.

The second semi-final clash in the ongoing tournament of the Liga MX will see two teams from Mexico City locking horns against each other. The bitter rivalry between Pumas and Cruz Azul will add another chapter to their playoff history for the first time in ten years, and both teams have reasons to believe they can make it to the finals after this match.

Cruz Azul, who have gotten used to believe they can finally end their silverware hoodoo, will enter this game after beating Tigres in their quarterfinal tie. La Máquina lost the second leg at home, but they carried much of the weight of the game, and even had chances to broaden their advantage. Now, with a second game at home in a row, Siboldi's men will try to put their fears to rest and reach one more title clash since their appearance in the Apertura 2018 tournament.

On the other side of the pitch, Pumas will try to keep their unbeaten run of eight games going, but in order to do that, they will have to put up a better performance than the one they had against Pachuca last Sunday. Andrés Lillini's men have won two of their last three games away from home (including one against Cruz Azul), and that fact should give their fans the right kind of hope for the first leg of the semi-finals.
