The action continues in round six of the Mexican Liga MX as Cruz Azul and Atletico San Luis square off at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes on Sunday.
Gustavo Leal’s visitors have lost their last three matches and will head into the weekend looking to stop the rot.
Cruz Azul, meanwhile, maintained their fine run of results as they fought back from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Queretaro last Saturday.
Martin Anselmi’s men have now won three games on the trot, scoring six goals and conceding twice since a goalless draw against Juarez at the Estadio Corregidora on January 20.
With 10 points from five matches, Cruz Azul are currently fifth in the Liga MX Clausura table, two points off first-placed Pachuca.
Atletico San Luis, on the other hand, were left empty handed once again as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Guadalajara at the Estadio Alfonso Lastras last Monday.
Leal’s men have conceded seven goals and scored only twice since kicking off the Clausura campaign with successive wins over Mazatlan and Pumas UNAM.
Atletico San Luis have picked up six points from the first 15 available to sit 11th in the Liga MX table and could move level with sixth-placed Club Necaxa, if they secure all three points this weekend.
