Monterrey welcomes Santos Laguna to this second leg of the Copa MX Apertura - Final. It's time to find a winner and both teams know what is needed.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Monterrey and Santos Laguna.
Monterrey form and stats
Last season, Monterrey's Copa MX journey ended in the apertura - final.Monterrey have played three Liga MX home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. This match is a Copa MX match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 6 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Juarez in the Liga MX last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that, Monterrey played out a Copa MX draw 0-0 when visiting Santos Laguna.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Monterrey handle that role? We have found six games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, zero draws and one defeat.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Monterrey, as the Liga MX home game vs America is only three days away.
The Monterrey fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Monterrey have conceded 5 from these games.
Santos Laguna form and stats
Santos Laguna was sent out of Copa MX in the apertura last season.Still no away game victory in the Liga MX for Santos Laguna with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. When we have look at the Copa MX statistics, we find 3W-2D-2L. This is both home and away.
Impressive finishing from Eduardo Aguirre (2) secured the home win 2-1 against Tigres UANL in their previous game. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Monterrey.
Santos Laguna are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and six defeats. From a total of eight matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Santos Laguna manager J. Almada Álves as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Juarez.
Santos Laguna are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). The Santos Laguna manager J. Almada Álves has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Santos Laguna - Monterrey 0-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Monterrey wins - draws - Santos Laguna wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
