This Saturday, March 8, 2025, the Liga MX Clausura 2025 continues with Jornada 11 featuring four exciting matches, highlighted by the much-anticipated Clsico Nacional between Chivas and America. This match is particularly significant as it's the second of three Clsicos between these two legendary teams this season. Following Chivas' midweek victory against America, where they secured a 1-0 win during the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16, fans are buzzing with excitement for this showdown.
The action kicks off at 17:00 hours (Mexico time) with Toluca facing Necaxa at Estadio Nemesio Diez. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses but are eager to bounce back. Next up, Pachuca will host Mazatln at the Estadio Hidalgo at 19:00, with both teams seeking to strengthen their positions for potential Liguilla qualification.
At 19:05, Cruz Azul will take on Monterrey at Estadio Olmpico Universitario, with the latter hoping to capitalize on their past success against Cruz Azul, having triumphed on the road against them several times recently. Finally, the evening concludes with Chivas battling America at 21:05 hours at Akron Stadium.
Toluca, currently sitting fourth on the Liga MX table, recently suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against America, raising concerns among their fanbase. Despite this setback, they remain strong contenders with the potential to reclaim their momentum.
On the other hand, Necaxa has performed admirably this season, boasting 22 goals scored, showing offensive prowess. Meanwhile, their recent form includes a tight match with Tigres where they fell short, marking their fourth loss this season. Both Toluca and Necaxa are eager to showcase their abilities this Saturday.
Pachuca enters their match against Mazatln with some fresh momentum, having fought back to secure a 2-2 draw against Jurez after being down at half-time. They currently occupy seventh place, just one point from the coveted direct Liguilla spots, which intensifies the stakes for this match.
Across the field, Mazatln struggles to find their rhythm, holding only three wins against four losses so far this season, along with three draws. With the need for victory to emerge from the lower ranks, this match will be pivotal for them.
The clash between Cruz Azul and Monterrey at the Estadio Olmpico Universitario is expected to draw significant crowds. Cruz Azul, coming off two consecutive draws, faces immense pressure to secure their first win under coach Vicente Snchez, who has not been able to clinch definitive victories recently. Monterrey, meanwhile, seeks to improve their position and trust after falling to lesser teams. Their past performances against Cruz Azul add some confidence as they look for points on the road.
Lastly, the highlight match of the day promises to be the Clsico Nacional as Chivas prepares to meet America at the Akron Stadium. Chivas aims to build on their recent success, feeling invigorated after besting America only days ago. They have not lost to America in their last four matches, two of which ended without goals directly from both teams, and they look to establish their dominance.
On the other hand, America, the reigning champions, arrive with confidence, having accumulated seven wins, two draws, and one loss this season, showcasing the league's highest tally of goals scored at 23 and the best defensive record with only seven goals conceded. Their formidable form makes them favorites to challenge Chivas this time around.
