Friday night is critical in the Liga MX playoff race. Eight teams get into the Liguilla, and four teams still alive in the race will see their hopes dashed in the final two weeks of the season.
Two of those teams, Puebla and Tijuana, are involved in Friday night's appetizer matches ahead of Saturday and Sunday's main course.
Other teams have their spots locked up already and can worry mostly about what their seed will look like. Others can extend their season with a pair of victories to close out their campaigns but need to fight to get those results.
