Tijuana Xolos hosts Cruz Azul at Estadio Caliente for a game in the 2025 Clausura season this Friday 31 January. Club Tijuana comes out of a rough 4-0 growth loss against Tigres Uanl and looks after jumping back with this home FIXTUR.

Border City Dogs won their last match at Mictlan 2-1 against Queretaro and will be looking for a similar result. Xoloitzcuintles has officially added defender Jackson Porozo and the announcement of the acquisition of Frank Boya is set to come soon.

Juan Carlos Osorio is definitely trying to clot his backline with a strong and physical presence, and it will be interesting to see if Porozo is debuting.

Defensive stability has been a big problem to start this season for Xoloitzcuintles, and this cannot fail against a team like Cruz Azul. Visitors have one of the best guards League MX and have an explosive violation that just scored three goals in their last game.

Former manager Martin Anselmi recently left Cruz Azul for an opportunity to train in Europe, but the team won his first season match without him. The Mexico City team is very well balanced, but usually chooses a very aggressive and offensive approach with a three-man Backline.

Greek striker Giorgos Giakoumakis scored his first goal of the season in his last game and is a danger on top with his potent physical presence. The young tip Luka Romero is also one of the most exciting young players in the league, fresh by a stint in Spanish and Italian top-flight football.

It will be interesting to see how Interim Manager Vicente Sanchez is approaching this match against an Xolos team that can be aggressive at home. Juan Carlos Osorio may be wary of the quick counter -attack by Cruz Azul in this match.
