The third week of the Guard1anes 2021 season is here and we hope to see more goal activity than we saw in the previous week. As in week two we saw a significant decrease in goals scored with only 11 as opposed to the opening week which gave us 21 goals scored.

With two fewer games scheduled this weekend due to Monterrey and Club America postponing their matches against Leon and FC Juarez respectively because of players testing positive to COVID we look preview the upcoming matches:

Thursday – 01/21/21

Atletico San Luis vs Chivas

Atletico comes into this matchup having lost their previous two matches the most recent a 1-0 loss against Necaxa, and looks to pick up their first points as they host El Rebaño.

On the other hand, Chivas looks to get their first win of the season after getting two draws each at 1 goal scored with the most recent a 1-1 draw at home against Toluca.

Game time: 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT

Friday – 01/22/21

Puebla vs Tijuana

Los Camoteros look to continue on their momentum from last season. They have four points thus far good enough for 5th in the standings with a win against La Maquina in their last matchup. Tijuana looks to get on the win column for the first time this season as they got draws in their previous two matchups for this young season.

Game time: 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PT

Mazatlan vs Santos Laguna

Mazatlan hosts Los Laguneros at home in the final Friday matchup as they look to get back on the win column after suffering a tough defeat against Pumas. After winning the first two matchups at home Santos looks to remain atop of the standings with a win in El Kraken.
