Bet on Liga MX top ten teams get into the playoffs, with the top six guaranteed a slot in the quarterfinals. The seventh through tenth-place finishers enter a play-in tournament to settle the last two slots in the quarterfinal round.
Only three points separate third-place Leon from seventh-place Necaxa, so some movement in the automatic qualifiers is definitely possible.
Tenth-place Pumas UNAM have 18 points, but three teams have 17 points, and San Luis have 15 points.
Atlas, with 14 points, is even still alive for the postseason. So there’s plenty of drama left in the last two matches.

Juarez (+145) vs Necaxa (+175) (Draw +248)
When: Tuesday, April 15, 11:00 pm ET
Liga MX Top Pick: Necaxa to win
Seventh-place Necaxa (27 points) visit eighth-place Juarez (23 points) hoping to make a move up closer to an automatic slot in the quarterfinals.
Juarez has a -3 goal differential at this point in the season (6 wins, 5 draws, 4 losses), as their offense (just 14 goals) has been on the inconsistent side.
They have one win, four draws and one loss in their last six matches. That includes a scoreless draw against Pumas UNAM in their last action.
They like to strike on the counter, using their defense to win games, but they simply haven’t been turning that enough to advantage. Against a more solid team like Necaxa, goals may be hard to come by. They have won four times in seven home matches in the Clausura.
Necaxa have a +6 goal differential despite having surrendered 10 more goals than Juarez. Their 33 goals are almost twice as many as Juarez have managed.
However, their issues come on the back end. Can Juarez break through and find the back of the net?
Necaxa have won four times in seven away matches in Clausura play. They also demolished Juarez in their last match, rolling to a 3-0 win.

Cruz Azul (-150) vs Leon (+360) (Draw +310)
When: Tuesday, April 15, 11:05 pm ET
Liga MX Top Pick: Cruz Azul to win
Cruz Azul have a 12-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. They played Club America in their last action and ended up in a scoreless draw – their first Liga MX match without a score since January.
La Maquina now have a seven-match unbeaten streak going against Leon, including a 2-1 road win during the 2024 Apertura phase, and they have four clean sheets in their last seven tilts with Leon.
They have five wins and five clean sheets in their last eight Liga MX contests.
Leon ended a four-game winless streak last week, stopping Puebla at home, 1-0, behind a 58th-minute tally from midfielder Andres Guardado.
They have a four-match road winless streak still going in Liga MX action, including a pair of draws. They have only scored one goal apiece in their last five Liga MX matches.
Interestingly, despite their inability to beat Cruz Azul, La Fiera have a one-goal aggregate edge over their last 15 Liga MX matches (23-22).
Unless the hosts suffer from an unexpected letdown, they should roll.
