Cruz Azul is the defending champion and one of the favorites with most of the squad returning. The other contenders include big-spending teams Club America, CF Monterrey and Tigres UANL. High-profile clubs such as Mexico City-based Pumas UNAM and Guadalajara’s Chivas will hope to join that group with a strong end to the season, as will clubs that always find themselves in the playoff mix: Toluca, Leon, and Santos Laguna.
A surprise team or two should emerge as well. Puebla and Atlas are hoping they can build on solid campaigns last season and reach the final.
Three of the six teams that will miss the liguilla are Tuca Ferretti’s FC Juarez, Club Tijuana and Queretaro, which has already closed its campaign.
