Tapatio have the tools to outplay Dorados
CD Tapatio will try to get all three points in an end-to-end match against Dorados when the two sides meet on Saturday evening.
Arturo Ortega’s side have built their success on a possession-based, high-tempo approach in which they play through the thirds and pressure the opposition high up the field in order to win the ball back. It is an ambitious style and, even though they have lost some structure in recent weeks, one that should be good enough to win against a Dorados side that have had a poor season so far, according to our Dorados vs CD Tapatio prediction.
Paco Ramirez took over at Dorados in October 2025 and has attempted to build a pragmatic, low-risk approach around the squad he inherited. The style works well for players with a lot of experience and a lot of confidence, but Dorados have neither and the team’s results show it - one win, one draw and three defeats in the last five.
