Celaya form and stats

Celaya have performed here at Estadio Miguel Alemán Valdés this season with 4 wins from 7 Liga de Expansión MX matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Estadio Miguel Alemán Valdés, but a victory now would be sweet for Celaya.

Celaya enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Dorados's place. The match ended 2-0 with González and Marín scoring.

Heartbreak before that as Celaya lost 2-3 at Cimarrones de Sonora's place.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Celaya matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, two draws and one defeat (from five games).

A decent goal production from Celaya in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. From these home matches, Celaya have conceded only 5 goals.

Tapatío form and stats

Tapatío have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Liga de Expansión MX, after 2-3-4 (9 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Tapatío's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The attacking players of Tapatío have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 195 minutes.

Tapatío might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zacatepec FC proved too strong as Tapatío slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cancún wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

The attacking power of Tapatío when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, Tapatío have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
