The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cancún are in the 8th position while the guesting Pumas Tabasco worry at 14th.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga de Expansión MX match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Tapatio, so at least Cancún are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Cancún form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Cancún have to build on here at Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo in the Liga de Expansión MX.
The home team returns to Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo after being equal after 90 minutes with Tapatio (placed 13th) on their last time out; the Liga de Expansión MX game ended 0-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Atlante.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cancún have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won zero times, drawn zero and lost one.
The manager C. Giménez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Universidad Guadalajara in only four days.
Cancún are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. From these home matches, Cancún have conceded only 3 goals.
Pumas Tabasco form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Liga de Expansión MX.
Pumas Tabasco's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Dorados that finished 2-2. A loss against Atlante was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As mentioned above, Pumas Tabasco drew the match against Dorados. Manager C. Gonzalez Rolon brought on A. Verda to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Pumas Tabasco 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, zero draws and zero defeats. From a total of one match.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Pumas Tabasco manager C. Gonzalez Rolon as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Tampico Madero.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Pumas Tabasco have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. Tabasco have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
