Mad scramble for Liga MX playoff berths

9. Pachuca (-2)

The Tuzos settled for a third consecutive draw against Santos on Sunday, effectively ending their hopes of a top seed. Still, Pachuca has given up more than 1 goal only once since their season-opening loss to América.

10. Necaxa (+6)

The Rayos have won two in a row to climb out of the cellar. With two winnable games before a season-ending visit to Pachuca, the “Electricistas” should claim a spot in the Liguilla.

11. Puebla (+1)

The Camoteros show promise, but lack finishing ability. Juan Reynoso’s team has only won once since August.

12. Toluca (+1)

The enigmatic Diablos just can’t get out of their own way. A bad mistake by goalie Luis García cost a valuable point at UNAM on Sunday.

13. Tijuana (-3)

The fates have been against the Xolos since the beginning of the Guardianes 2020. A Covid outbreak slowed down a promising start and it’d be no surprise if they emphasize the Copa MX Final over the playoff race.

14. Mazatlán FC (+3)

The newest Liga MX club finally got to play in front of home fans, but the 3-2 win might prove to be the high watermark of the season.

15. Querétaro (-4)

The Gallos Blancos are on a 6-game winless streak and Thursday’s loss at cellar-dwelling Atlético de San Luis was a tough one to swallow.

16. Atlas (-2)

The Zorros phoned it in against Chivas in a less-than-scintillating Clásico Tapatío. With América and the Tigres looming, the playoffs seem unlikely.

17. FC Juárez (-2)

The Bravos never found a replacement for Diego Rolán whose loan deal was not renewed and his scoring prowess was sorely missed.

18. Atlético San Luis (—)

The Tuneros are playing out the string, but they could play a spoiler role against Santos, Mazatlán and Puebla.
