The Xolos Tijuana vs San Luis match will be this Saturday, November 3, 2012 (10:30 PM EDT) at the noisy Estadio Caliente in Tijuana.   The current league leaders -Club Tijuana- have not won in three straight games, and although they already qualified to the playoffs, they put their pass into the prestigious Copa Libertadores in suspense.  However, Xolos are not the league leaders by means of magic, because this team has not lost in thirteen straight games and they are undefeated at home.  San Luis has been a lowly talented squad with poor results, and although they are considerably safe from relegation, they need to obtain points quickly to prevent relegation in future years.

Xolos of Tijuana need three points to secure one of three spots for the Copa Libertadores 2013.  This is a team that has played extremely well all season long, even considering they do not have as much talent depth compared to teams like Santos, America, or Monterrey.  On Saturday night, Xolos plays at a packed home stadium where they are still yet to lose.

The visiting team has played well, however, this has not translated into points.  San Luis is one of the lower seated teams in the Liga MX and a loss in Tijuana will push them towards the relegation fight.  They will have to play a perfect match to attain a tie, although a victory is not out of the picture.  San Luis has not been terrible on the road this season as they have won 2, tied 2, and lost three.

Prediction: Coming into this game, Tijuana is the much stronger opponent who is already qualified to the playoffs.  Therefore, the Xolos Tijuana vs San Luis match will be a one-sided game because the superior team, Tijuana, has the support of the home crowd, plus, they have the pressure to obtain a victory to qualify into the prestigious Copa Libertadores.  In a good match, the Xolos Tijuana vs San Luis game ends with Tijuana winning 2-0.

Television:  The Xolos Tijuana vs San Luis match will be this Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 10:30 PM EDT and will be televised on Univision Deportes with a 30 minute delay.
