Liga MX Clausura rushes towards the playoffs as Club Leon face Toluca chasing qualification

The sprint to the Liga MX Clausura portion of the season comes to an end this weekend, and no matter what, there will be a new regular-season champion, as Toluca's run of dominance will be ended by either Chivas Guadalajara or Pumas UNAM. Both are sides that no one would've expected to top the table at this stage, but behind smart recruitment like Brian Guiterrez joining Chivas and Juninho and Pedro Vite powering Pumas, and improving young players such as Armando Gomez, these sides have been able to rise up the table.

But with that improvement also comes disappointment for the old guard in Toluca and Club America. Toluca have managed injuries during the season, and while they come in healthy to the final match day, they'll need to fend off Club Leon, who need at least a point to have a chance at the playoffs. If Toluca wins, they could jump into fourth, which would be important for securing home matches for as long as possible in the playoffs, but with desperation on Leon's side, this will be far from an easy match for Toluca despite their dominance in the league.

Club America are facing a similar situation while facing Atlas. In recent history, Atlas have struggled in recent seasons and even sold top striker Uros Durdevic to Monterrey ahead of the season, but they've defied the odds and currently sit in a playoff spot. Facing an America side that has struggled to live up to expectations, Atlas has every chance to improve their own standing and ensure that they make the playoffs.
