The Veracruz vs Cruz Azul match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Tiburones Rojos host Los Celestes at the Estadio Luis “Pirata” Fuente this Friday, February 22, 2019, at 7:00 PM Pacific.
Veracruz has had a dreadful season, currently in 17th place with two points and no goals scored, coming off a horrendous 3-0 loss against Club Tijuana away from home. Defender Edson Garcia inclusively received a red card in that clash and will not be available for this match against Cruz Azul.
Despite Los Escualos struggles, young goalkeeper Sebastian Jurado continues to have a very impressive season. Jurado is clearly the standout player on the port city team, as team captain Cristian Menendez finds a way to get the dormant offense back on track.
Cruz Azul has not had an ideal season, currently in 14th place with eight points, winless in its last three league games. La Maquina lost 1-0 to second division team Alebrijes de Oaxaca in the Copa MX earlier in the week and is coming off a 2-1 loss to Santos Laguna in league play.
Milton Caraglio scored his first goal of the season against Santos Laguna as Caraglio, Martin Cauteruccio and Jonathan Rodriguez have combined for one goal scored this semester. The Mexico City team has not scored more than one goal in a game this season and will need to really step it up against an inconsistent team like Veracruz.
Veracruz vs Cruz Azul Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a 0-0 draw at the Estadio Luis “Pirata” Fuente as both teams have been struggling offensively and it should prove to be a very hard-fought and physical clash.
