How to watch the Liga MX match between Queretaro FC and Cruz Azul, as well as kick-off time and team news.
Still searching for their first win of the 2024 Liga MX Clausura season, Queretaro will will welcome high-flying Cruz Azul to Estadio Corregidora for a Friday night encounter.
With three draws and one loss in four games, Queretaro have become the draw experts in Liga MX lately. They weren’t up to par in the Apertura season, and don’t look to have enough quality to sneak into the play-offs in the Clausura either.
Cruz Azul, meanwhile, are coming off a narrow 1-0 victory over Club Tijuana on matchday four of the Clausura 2024 thanks to an early second-half goal from Angel Sepulveda. That followed yet another hard-fought 2-1 win away from home against Mazatlan.
The results have helped them climb up the standings, as they are now fifth with seven points, tied with fourth-place Necaxa, only separated by goal difference.
