Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz - Lobos de la BUAP Football prediction

There’s certainly a feeling of make or break around this clash for Veracruz. Win and they’ll back in with a glimmer of hope of surviving; lose and they can start packing their bags now. Rock bottom of the average points table and with no realistic hope of catching any other side bar Lobos, it’s a fixture the hosts simply have to win.

Meanwhile, Lobos were actually supposed to be relegated last season but were spared due to the team set to replace them failing to gain a top flight licence. Nonetheless, that left them bottom of the average points table and favourites for the drop this campaign but through a combination of their own good work and Veracruz’s struggles, they now look on course to survive.
Indeed, Lobos finished the opening stage of the season in 13th place, with their 19 point haul seeing them move comfortably above Veracruz and a few other sides in the all important average points table. An excellent 2-0 win over Santos Laguna last weekend to kick off the Clausura has further strengthened that position and having now won 3 of their last 4 league matches, spirits are high in visiting ranks.
Ultimately, this is a match in which Veracruz have to come out all guns blazing and with Lobos unlikely to sit back themselves against an opponent they’ll view as vulnerable, an open style of game is almost certain to be on the cards.
