Week 2 of the Copa Corona MX will kick off with Cruz Azul looking for redemption after falling to Queretaro in Week 1; the ‘cementeros’ will host Alebrijes of Oaxaca at the Estadio Azul this Tuesday, January 24 2017 (7:00 PM Pacific). Cruz Azul was denied of three points in their first Copa MX match against Queretaro falling 3-2 and Oaxaca did not play in in first week of the competition. Both teams will be motivated to get their first three points of this competition.

‘La maquina’ are coming off a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Monterrey in the Liga MX Clausura 2017, where several of their Copa MX starters got some action. Paco Jemez presented a strong lineup in their matchup against Queretaro in Week 1 of the tournament, featuring players like Francisco Rodriguez, Enzo Roco, Gabriel Peñalba, Richard Ruiz, Martin Rodriguez and Martin Cauteruccio.

It is unclear if some of those players have found their way into the starting 11 for the Liga MX competition, but it seems like Cauteruccio and Martin Rodriguez still need some time to adjust. Expect the Spaniard manager to present another strong lineup in Week 2 of this competition.

Alebrijes of Oaxaca currently have six points in the Ascenso MX and find themselves in 10th place in the very competitive second division league. In their most recent game Oaxaca fell 2-0 to Mineros of Zacatecas, and as mentioned before this will be their Copa MX debut. Oaxaca’s squad is not the most attractive with few ex-Liga MX players but they do have a player that Cruz Azul fans will remember in Giancarlo Maldonado.

The Venezuelan striker was once one of the most potent strikers in all of Mexican football with Atlante. Maldonando, now 34-years-old, is towards the end of his career but will look to terrorize Cruz Azul fans once again in this game. While the former Liga MX star does sit on the sidelines in ‘Liga de Ascenso’ games, he will almost certainly get the start at the Estadio Azul this Tuesday.
