Durango form and stats

Durango have played 5 Liga de Expansión MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-0 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager Cobián led his Durango to a defeat away at Zacatepec FC. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Francisco Zarco. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going undefeated through three league games. Durango were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus 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 Durango have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 4 and lost 0.

The Durango fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Durango have only let in 2 goals at home.
