The league table in Liga de Expansión MX tells a story about these teams so far, with Morelia leading Venados by 12 points. Match preview to follow:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Venados have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Morelia form and stats
Morelia have collected 13 points from their Liga de Expansión MX home games so far after 4-1-2. Morelia has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Generalísimo José María Morelos y Pavón. We remember; it was Dorados.
A nice win for Morelia last time playing, versus Tlaxcala. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with G. Ramírez (2) and A. Ledesma scoring for the victors. A strong away win before that one, visiting Correcaminos UAT and winning 3-2.
A decent goal production from Morelia in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. On the other hand, Morelia have conceded 8 goals.
Venados form and stats
There's been little loot from Venados's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Liga de Expansión MX. Venados only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.
It's the second away game in a row for Venados, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Mineros de Zacatecas in the Liga de Expansión MX last time out. Prior to that match, the Venados manager C. Gutiérrez Barriga faced defeat when travelling to Cimarrones de Sonora and losing 0-1.
The attacking power of Venados when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Venados have conceded 12 goals in these games.
