The defending champions must pick up points, while a potential final preview takes place in the capital. Goal takes a look at the weekend in Mexican soccer.
Penultimate is an excellent word that doesn't get enough run in the English language. Meaning next-to-last, it lends a sense of urgency that perhaps doesn't exist when saying "next-to-last." It's not the ultimate, but you know the ultimate is right around the corner. For Liga MX teams, that means there are just two more chances to get into the position they want or need to be in. There won't be any more chances after that, so this week is vital.
