With only two matchdays remaining in the Liga MX Apertura season, Monterrey travels to face Club Tijuana in a match that could determine whether the historic club misses the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Monterrey currently holds a playoff spot by a narrow margin despite significant offseason spending that brought Hugo Cuypers and Diego Rossi to the club. The team's attack has produced only mid-table numbers, and the defense has also struggled.
Tijuana, meanwhile, has been without teenage standout Gilberto Mora due to injury, but the match is considered winnable for the home side. A victory could push Tijuana as high as fifth place depending on other results. The fixture is listed for Sunday, Oct. 25 at 4 p.m. ET at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, with television coverage on ABC and streaming on CBS Sports Golazo Network. Odds favor Monterrey at -175, with a draw at +320 and Tijuana at +420.
The league schedule also shows a Monterrey vs. Tijuana match on Saturday, Oct. 31 at 9:05 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Golazo Network. Other key fixtures include Club América vs. Toluca on Saturday at 11:10 p.m. ET, with América leading the table on 28 points with a game in hand. Toluca, the reigning champions, return to full health and aim to prove they remain contenders. Additional matches on Friday and Sunday complete the round.
