Two teams in need of a victory lock horns at Azteca Stadium after a complicated week for Mexican football. Follow this clash with our broadcast guide.

Two of Mexico's Big Four lock horns in what should be an interesting weekend of football in Liga MX. Cruz Azul, a team that has lost two out of their last three, welcome Pumas UNAM at Azteca Stadium with quite a few issues to solve. The last few games between these clubs have delivered some of the best matches in recent memory, which makes this clash one fans should keep an eye on.

Cruz Azul enter this game with no wins in their last three games, including a couple of losses at Azteca Stadium in the domestic competition. Despite those facts, Juan Reynoso's men will make it to this match in high spirits after beating Montreal FC in the CONCACAF Champions League in a midweek game.

If La Máquina want to end their current streak, they will need a proper performance by players such as Santiago Giménez, Jonathan Rodríguez, and Uriel Antuna. These players have combined to score seven of Cruz Azul's 15 goals in the tournament, and that is precisely what the team will need to beat their visitors this Saturday.

On the other side of the pitch, Pumas will also make it to this match desperate for a victory. The team coached by Andrés Lillini has only earned two points out of the last three games they have played before their match from last week got postponed due to the incidents at La Corregidora Stadium. After that, Pumas went on to face New England Revolution, a team that got the best out of them and defeated the Ciudad de México outfit three-nil.

When trying to identify the key man for Pumas, fans will want to say Juan Ignacio Dinenno will be their go-to guy. The striker has emerged as the best scorer for Los Universitarios since his arrival, but with only one goal to his name this season, Pumas' supporters will be eager to seeing him finding the back of the net this Saturday evening.

Let's have a look at some of the key aspects of this game before its kickoff.
