Liga MX Quarterfinals Odds & Expert Analysis for Apertura 2024

The first half of the Liga MX regular season is now in the books, which means that the playoffs are almost upon us.

If you are a little confused by that statement, it is not surprising, as Liga MX does things a little differently, crowning 2 champions each year.

My Liga MX Analysis

Right now, we are in the Apertura 2024, which consists of 17 regular season games before getting to the playoffs.

The top 6 teams clinch an automatic spot in the quarterfinal, while teams 6 through 10 go into a playoff in hopes of landing the other 2 quarterfinal spots.

Let’s talk about the play-in before we get to the potential quarterfinal matchups.

Liga MX Play-In 2024

Tijuana vs America

This is the 7th versus 8th game, with the winner of this one automatically moving on, while the loser gets another shot against the winner of the 9 versus 10 play-in game. These two tied 2-2 in the earlier meeting this season, but America has had the best of this matchup, so I like them to move on.

Chivas vs Atlas

This is the 9th versus 10th game, with the winner of this still needing to go on and beat the loser of the other play-in game. Atlas beat Chivas 3-2 on the road earlier this season, but they have been struggling as of late and have just 1 win in their last 5. Slight edge to Chivas here.

I think it will be Tijuana and America making it into the quarterfinal.

Liga MX Possible Quarterfinal 2024

Before we get into this, be aware that a couple of these games are just guesses, as we need to wait until the play-in ends before we get the actual matchups.

Cruz Azul vs America

This would be a rematch of Clausura 2024, which was won by America, who picked up their 2nd straight championship. They are going to need to go the long road to get the three-peat here, which is why I like Cruz Azul to move on if this is indeed the matchup.

Toluca vs Tijuana

When these teams met earlier this season, it was an absolute blowout, with Toluca winning 4-0 at home against Tijuana. While the playoffs tend to be a little tighter and pressure filled, I still think we will see Toluca get the win that moves them on to the semi-finals.

Tigres vs Atletico San Luis

Okay, so the next 2 games that we are going to talk about have been decided already, as they involve teams 3 through 6. It was a tight affair when these two met earlier in the season, with Tigres picking up a 1-0 win at home, where they will be for this game. San Luis has only beaten Tigres twice in 2o attempts, so I have to go with the home team again.

Pumas vs Monterrey

It was a total stalemate when these two teams clashed earlier this season, with Pumas going on the road and tying 0-0 with Monterrey. That said, Monterrey has had the best of this matchup over the years, and while they have to go on the road for this one, I think they grind out a win.

Liga MX Odds to Win the Apertura 2024

Cruz Azul +136
Tigres +450
Toluca +600
America +800
Monterrey +810
Pumas UNAM +1075
Chivas +2800
