Durango form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Durango so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Durango as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Dorados match.

The manager Cobián was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Estadio Francisco Zarco. Durango suffered a 0-4 loss to Cimarrones de Sonora. Durango lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
