The Liga MX is one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world. Week 3 of the competition proved to be no different as shocking defeats by Pachuca and Toluca and a tremendous victory by Tigres UANL made a huge shift within the Power Rankings. The Liga MX is so unpredictable that we could be seeing relegation candidates reach playoffs by the time the season wraps up. Here are the Power Rankings for Week 3 of the Liga MX Clausura 2017.
3. Liga MX Week 2 Power Rankings (Teams #18 to 13):
18. Puebla (+-0)
After conceding nine goals in two weeks, Puebla did not concede any this week against Queretaro, but still did not earn a victory in a lackluster 0-0 draw. The ‘camoteros’ could be in big trouble if they continue with this form.
17. Queretaro (-2)
If it were not for Tiago Volpi, the ‘gallos blancos’ would be bottom of the table and bottom of this list. The Brazilian goalkeeper has been the most outstanding player on Queretaro as Manuel Vucetich’s men still have not found a way to score after three weeks.
16. Club America (-2)
The ‘aguilas’ are bottom of the table and are coming off a shocking 4-2 loss to Tigres UANL. Ricardo La Volpe’s men have conceded six goals in this tournament and seem to be missing the presence of Rubens Sambueza and Osvaldo Martinez in their midfield.
15. Atlas(-8)
I still cannot figure out how the same team that lost to Toluca 4-1, and lost to Veracruz this week managed to defeat Tigres UANL. That win in the Estadio Jalisco was truly a miracle for Jose Cruz’s men. The ‘rojinegros’ have looked abysmal in their defeats and that “miracle win” does not save them from being near the bottom of this list.
14. Necaxa (+3)
The ‘rayos’ looked impressive in their 1-0 victory over Pachuca this week. Alfonso Sosa’s men have only scored one goal in this tournament, but their performance this week does deserve recognition.
13.Leon (-4)
Club Leon have looked impressive all tournament, even with their two defeats Javier Torrente’s squad looks to have a chance at playoffs. ‘La fiera’ really beat themselves in Week 3 as Mauro Boselli and Carlos Pena missed sitters in front of net against Pumas UNAM.
