A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Celaya.

Cancún form and stats

Cancún have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Liga de Expansión MX, after 1-2-3 (6 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Cancún who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Zacatepec FC was the last time a defeat was avoided.

The attacking players of Cancún have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 251 minutes.

Cancún's previous game was their home loss versus Celaya (0-4). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Celaya was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Prior to that match, the Cancún manager Bearkaiztegui faced defeat when travelling to Universidad Guadalajara and losing 0-3.

Stats flash: 10 of the last 11 league matches featuring this club have seen only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Dorados in just three days.

Cancún are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. 7 goals have been conceded by Cancún in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last four games between these two teams, there's three Morelia victories, zero draws and one Cancún win. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
