Two clubs chasing the Clausura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Morelia and Cruz Azul. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Morelos in Morelia and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
What They're Saying
Morelia manager Roberto Hernandez (via Esto): "The match will be between blue and yellow, but it's important the level of the opponent we face because it alerts us. It's one of those games where if the team comes out motivated, we can win because it is against an opponent that lets you play and surely comes to the match with purpose. We should take advantage of that to get points and move away from the problem that is upon us."
Cruz Azul striker Roque Santa Cruz (via Esto): "We have gone through difficult moments this tournament and we'll keep working in the manner we have."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Santa Cruz was stellar in last week's 2-0 victory over Tigres UANL. In seven appearances, the 33-year-old has three goals and an assist.
Morelia's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Rodriguez; Morales, Huiqui, Palacios, Fonseca; Tafolla, Valdez; Zarate, Cejas, Cuero; Mena
Cruz Azul's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Corona; Pinto, Dominguez, Rodriguez, Flores; Baca, Torrado; Rojas, Formica, Baez; Cruz
