Once the regular season has come to an end, the eight teams that managed to enter the wild card stage will lock horns with their final chance to enter the liguilla in play.
While there might not be a clear favorite in all ties, making the playoffs has to be the goal for all teams, especially due to the economic prize available for the four teams that enter the last eight teams.
Without further ado, let's have a look at all one-match playoff ties. We will look at all games in chronological order, while also highlighting their position in the Liga MX standings for the recently concluded regular season.
Atlas (7) vs Tigres UANL (10)
Los Rojinegros return to playoff games after a good streak that saw them rise through the ranks, and with the return of striker Julio Furch, Atlas' hopes for success are higher than ever. Nevertheless, facing Tigres in this round will not be easy, especially after the club announced the end of Ricardo Ferretti's term as coach, which lasted over ten years. Will Gignac and Co. give their historic coach one final run for the title, or will Atlas put an end to their title dreams?

Santos Laguna (5) vs Querétaro (12)
The team in green and white lost their spot in the liguilla during the final two weeks, and now they will face a young and hungry side like Querétaro, who will try to show that their lack of experience can be substituted by a good tactic and effort, which will be led by coach Héctor Altamirano. If we needed to put our money in this game, we'd have to bet for Santos, but Altamirano's men have shown that they can put up a good fight against big teams, and this will most likely be the case here.

León (6) vs Toluca (11)
The defending champions will also welcome a new coach by the end of the season, but that does not mean that Ignacio Ambriz and his men will serve this one on a platter for Toluca, who will try to put León's back-to-back title dreams to rest here. Judging by how both teams ended the regular season, it would be adequate to say that León should take home the win, especially if Toluca put up a woeful performance just like the one they pulled off against Juárez last week.

Pachuca (8) vs Guadalajara (9)
This could be a tight game to watch, with both clubs certainly having the necessary tools to put their rivals to work. Pachuca was a bit more consistent than Chivas, but El Rebaño's defensive capabilites could make things hard for Los Tuzos, even if they are playing at home. Either way, it will be a tough test for both teams, where the one who makes the most out of their chances will end up winning a spot in the next round.
