The Liga MX continues to heat up as the Xolos of Tijuana prepare to face the Gallos Blancos of Querétaro this Friday at the renowned Estadio Caliente. The match, slated for January 24, 2025, at 21:00 (Central Mexico Time), marks the third week of the Clausura 2025 tournament and promises to be highly competitive.
Both teams have strong motivations heading to the pitch. The Xolos, managed by Juan Carlos Osorio, are aiming for their first victory of the season after suffering defeat against Toluca and scraping a draw against América's U-23 squad. The team currently sits at the bottom of the table, desperately wanting to defend home turf and boost their morale with the support of their fans.
On the other hand, Querétaro enters this match with confidence, hoping to build on their recent success. The Gallos Blancos just pulled off an exciting 3-2 victory over Pumas UNAM, showcasing their offensive capabilities. Under the guidance of coach Benjamín Mora, Querétaro sits mid-table and hopes to secure consecutive wins for the first time this season, which could be pivotal for their ambitions.
Historical data suggests Querétaro may have the psychological edge. Analyzing their past encounters, the Gallos have won six out of the last fourteen meetings, with only two victories for Tijuana and six matches ending as draws. This trend adds weight to their 29.94% betting odds against Tijuana’s 44.41%, reflecting their recent form.
Fans curious about how to catch the game will find it available exclusively on Caliente TV, which can be accessed via their streaming service or YouTube channel. For live updates, AS.COM will provide minute-by-minute coverage, ensuring fans won’t miss any action.
Both teams are expected to field competitive lineups, with Tijuana likely deploying José Rodríguez, Aaron Mejía, and Jesús Hernández among others. Querétaro may counter with Guillermo Allison, Francisco Venegas, and Pablo Barrera, who has already shown impressive form with multiple goals this season.
The urgency of points remains high for Tijuana, who must find their footing quickly to avoid being left behind early on, and the local crowd will undoubtedly push them to perform. Conversely, Querétaro, fresh off their victory, will look to extend their winning streak and capitalize on Tijuana's shaky form.
This fixture isn’t just about points; it’s also about pride and momentum within the Liga MX. With both teams aiming higher than their previous seasons, their encounter promises thrilling football.
Expectations run high, and analysts from the house of bets predict notable outcomes such as both teams scoring—a possibility seen frequently, as reflected by statistics from their recent matches. Tijuana’s win will likely hinge on their ability to leverage home advantage effectively, pushing past their recent struggles.
It’s going to be more than just another match; it’s the Xolos versus the Gallos, and fans will be anxiously watching to see which team solidifies their narrative as the season progresses. Will the Gallos continue their successful run, or will the Xolos emerge from the shadows of their early season woes? The stage is set, and the excitement is palpable.
