Liga MX Clausura 2023 prediction: Supercomputer sayspossible winners

Before the start of Clausura 2023, the specialized site, Statiskicks, simulated the regular season in Liga MX. That simulation occurred 10 000 times and, after 17 weeks of competiton, America are projected to be the first place on the table.

According to the supercomputer prediction, the standings after the regular season will be as follows: 1.- America, 2.- Monterrey, 3.- Pachuca, 4.- Tigres, 5.- Chivas, 6.- Cruz Azul, 7.- Toluca, 8.- Pumas UNAM, 9.- Santos, 10.- Leon, 11.- Tijuana, 12.- Necaxa, 13.- Puebla, 14.- Queretaro, 15.- Atlas, 16.- Juarez, 17.- Mazatlan and 18.- San Luis.

If this prediction becomes true, the finals (Liguilla) would be played like this. In the first knockout stage (Repechaje): Chivas against Necaxa, Cruz Azul facing Tijuana, Toluca will clash with Leon and Pumas UNAM face off with Santos. The four teams directly qualified for the quarterfinals: America, Monterrey, Pachuca and Tigres.

This means that Club America are the favorites to win the title in Mexico though the reigning champions Pachuca will be very close. Monterrey and Tigres will remain as contenders and, in a very important detail, the four “Big Clubs” would be at least in the Repechaje: America, Chivas, Cruz Azul and Pumas UNAM.

Monterrey had another big failure last tournament when they were eliminated in the semifinals by Pachuca. A club which almost every season present one of the best rosters in Mexico will look for redemption with stellar namessuch as German Berterame, Rodrigo Aguirre, Hector Moreno, Luis Romo and Rogelio Funes Mori. However, they lost a key player in the offseason when defender Cesar Montes signed with Espanyol of Barcelona. Their biggest additions: Omar Govea and Jordi Cortizo.

Chivas are one the most popular teams in Mexico, but haven’t won a title in Liga MX since 2017. That’s why owner Amaury Vergara made some major changes. Ricardo Pelaez is out as sports director and they brought former Real Madrid player Fernando Hierro to make all the front office decisions. Furthermore, Ricardo Cadena was fired as coach and the huge responsibility is now onVeljko Paunovic who’s had experience with Chicago Fire on MLS and Reading in England.

However, Luis Chavez had a remarkabletournament and became one of the best players for Mexico. For example, his goal in the game with Saudi Arabia was just superb in a free kick. The midfielder took the starting job in the final weeks prior to the World Cup. Though he was a top player for Pachuca in Liga MX, nobody expected to see him at such a high level with the National Team. It was a greatsurprise.

Now, at 26-years old, Luis Chavez has to make a very important decision regarding his future. After the Qatar 2022 World Cup, many teams in Liga MX are expecting to make him one of the best paid players in the country. Nevertheless, the midfielder has other plans. Read here to find out the incredible offer he rejected in Mexico and which are his options.

Luis Chavez rejects a big team from Liga MX

According to many reports in Mexico, Monterrey made a huge offer to Pachuca in order to acquire Luis Chavez. The deal would have at least doubled his current salary with Tuzos establishing him as one of the top paid players in Liga MX. The only condition was that the decision should be made before the start of Clausura 2023.

Luis Chavez didn’t take much time to think and rejected the spectacular economic proposal from Rayados. His message was clear. The midfielder wants to stay in Pachuca and wait all January for an offer to achieve his biggest dream of his career: play in Europe.

At the moment, there hasn’t been a formal approach by any European team. However, there’s still almost a month in the transfer market. If Luis Chavez doesn’t go to Europe, he will play Clausura 2023 with Pachuca and, maybe in the summer, he would consider a change of club in Liga MX.

Experienced coach Victor Manuel Vucetich‘s team is the most expensive team in Liga MX, according to Transfermarkt. You can’t ask for anything less than excellence and so far they have delivered, having won four in a row before drawing with Dani Alves’Pumas in Mexico City. This is good enough for them to be third in the standings.

Meanwhile, León, coached by Portuguese Renato Alves, showed Liga MX what they are capable of by beating América in their most recent match. Their balance in 6 matches played is two wins, three draws and one defeat.

Strange behavior fromAguirre, cause he is an experienced coach: he has managed three National Teams so far (Mexico, twice, Japan, and Egypt), and has had a ten-year adventure in Spanish LaLiga, taking modest CA Osasuna to its first Champions League experience, and contributing to Atletico de Madrid‘s revival.

Also,el Vascohad the opportunity to manage 8 FIFA World Cup matches, all with the Mexican team, during the Japan-Korea 2002 and South Africa 2010 editions. He has arrived at Monterrey in December 2020 and took the Northern team to conquer the CONCACAF 2020-2021Champions League.

Javier Aguirre’s hurtful statement for Monterrey

Monterrey’s wound after its failure against Al Ahly is still bleeding. Cause the club was especially motivated to have a great performance inUAE 2021 after their eternal rival, Tigres, achieved being Mexico’s first FIFA Club World Cup runner-up in the past edition buttheir game plan failed and CAF Champions League’s winner defeated them ina one-goalmatch.

However, for Javier Aguirre, the result against Al Ahly may not be surprising at all and tried to minimize his club and fans’pain in a very unorthodox way:”Monterrey has participated 5 times so far in the FIFA Club World Cup and has never won anything, the club has never been able to reach the final game… We have to keep working, we can not regret a thing, we have to well conclude our participation“, stated.

Rayados de Monterrey will face Al Jazira, the host club that has been eliminated by Asian champions Al Hilalvia ascandalous 6-1, in the FIFA Club World Cup fifth-place match. The Mexican club knows well this sensation as it would try to reach this place for the third time in its history.

According to Miami Herald‘s reporterMichelle Kaufman, the chosen one to relieve Inter Miami’s economic pain is its Mexicandesignated player that has not had the desired impact in the pitch in the two seasons. Pizarrois close to being loaned to his former Liga MX team, Rayados de Monterrey.

This off-season move is desired by the 3 parts involved in it:the Heronswill stop paying the $3.35 million yearly salary of Pizarro; the Mexican international may receive the minutes in the pitch he needs to convinceTataMartino to include him inel Trisquad in Qatar 2022 World Cup, and Rayados will count on a player that helped the team to conquer its last Liga MX.

What is Rodolfo Pizarro willing to do to facilitate his return to Mexico with Monterrey?

WithTUDNinformation, it has beenleaked out that one of the troublesRayados had to bringPizarro back to Liga MX was his salary. But, the still Inter Miami’s player will was decisive to find a solution: he accepted to reduce the amount he annually receives.

From the $3.35 million he has touched during his stay in MLS, Rodolfo Pizarro will get only the 30 percent, however, he could be closer to his loved ones.The Jokerhad stated in several occasions that one of the main reasons he could not reach his peak in Miami was the absence of his family: “I had personal issues I dealt with, the injury…I didn’t have my family nearby, so that affected me”.

The very possible Pizarro’s loan to Rayados could have been announced in the previous days when Rodolfo posted an intriguing message on his Twitter account that caused rumors about his return to Mexico. If the transfer is confirmed, the Mexican player would be leaving Inter Miami with just 7 goals in 46 games played in two seasons.
