Liga MX Predictions: Matchday 8 Picks, Insights & Odds to Win Clausura 2026

Check out the Liga MX predictions and picks with insights of the top games on Matchday 8. Check out what are my favorite teams to win this weekend, so you can compare or take into account which of them could be the winners this weekend, in order to pursuit the Quarterfinals at the end of the regular season.

Liga MX Predictions and Picks for Matchday 8?

Toluca -101 vs Chivas +275 Draw +232

Attack vs Defense is the main key here. While Guadalajara have one of the best records in attack so far, Toluca come to this game with a positive 7-game strek, including only 2 goals against until matchday 7. Toluca is stronger than Chivas on Defense, but not in the attack, as I mentioned above.

What about Guadalajara? Despite their negative result against Cruz Azul, they reached a 57% of ball possession, which indicates a strong control over the field of their main players, reminding us about how dangerous they are in the attack.

Finally, I’m going to pick Toluca to win this weekend, because their attack is performing and growing every week with Paulinho as the main key to follow.

Monterrey +104 vs Cruz Azul +236 Draw +255

This is a huge game for the weekend. Both teams have almost the same GA (goals against) stat, which can be taken as an advantage for their strikers. Taking this into consideration, Cruz Azul has been collecting points and goals in the last games thanks to Jose Antonio Paradela, Gabriel Fernández, Carlos Rodríguez and Agustin Palavicino.

On the other hand, Monterrey’s attack is not producing the same results as their weekend rival. Why? because in the last 3 games they have only 1 scored goal. Therefore, Rayados have a good defense, but we cannot say the same about their attack.

Consequently, that’s why I’m going to pick Cruz Azul to win this weekend.

America +104 vs Tigres +260 Draw +234

“The Eagles” have been improving their performance in the midfield mainly, but not in the attack. Their offensive stat numbers shows that each week America hadn’t been producing enough goals, until matchday 7 (0-4). So they’re good in defense, midfield, but in the front they’re not so strong.

On the other hand, Tigres comes to this game with a twice bad streak against Pachuca and Cruz Azul. Despite being one of the best teams on the attack, with 11 goals in favor, those last 2 games weren’t enough to increase their performance against the strongest teams in the Clausura 2026.

With that in mind, I’m going to pick America to win this weekend, because Tigres couldn’t defeat the strong teams in the las 2 rounds, as I said before, and due to America’s better stats in goals against and goals in favor.

Tijuana +129 vs Pumas +194 Draw +240

Here, we need to highlight the difference between both teams, a number comparison regarding their stats. First, Pumas is performing absolutely amazing on the attack, with Alvaro Angulo, Olavio, Jordan Carrillo and their new acquisition the brazilian Kenedy. After matchday 7, Pumas has conquered 14 goals, the best so far in the Clausura 2026.

Tijuana is going to be at home, but that advantage is not enough for them, I think their poor numbers doesn’t show a clear or possible chance to rescue at least a draw as a result.

Pumas is the team that I’m going to pick to win this weekend, regarding their 7-game positive streak and their effectiveness even as visitor team.
