A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Morelia and Tijuana know what's at stake in this second leg of the Copa MX Apertura - Final clash.
It's no vacation for neither Morelia nor Tijuana as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
7-4-24 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Tijuana when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 35 matches are 28-67 (scored/conceded).
It's quite the trip for Tijuana when visiting Morelia as the cities are 2500 kilometers apart.
