Their home attack is absolutely firing on all cylinders, and that's exactly what The Big O loves to see! Sure, they've had a couple of draws, but when they score, they score BIG.

Tigres might only average 1.00 goal away from home, but don't let that fool you - they've shown they can explode with that 5-goal masterpiece. Plus, they're sitting pretty in 2nd place with only 1 loss all season. This team knows how to find the back of the net when it matters.

The goal expectancy is sitting at a juicy 2.79, and with Cruz Azul's home scoring prowess, we're looking at prime Over territory. The Big O sees value here - the market has this at exactly 50/50 with odds of 1.90, but I'm feeling a 65% chance of seeing at least 3 goals in this one.
