The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Tampico Madero are in the 10th position while the guesting Correcaminos UAT worry at 12th.
The hosts Tampico saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Liga de Expansión MX. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cimarrones de Sonora.

Correcaminos UAT form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Liga de Expansión MX for Correcaminos UAT with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
Impressive finishing from M. Sigales (2) secured the home win 2-1 against Cimarrones de Sonora in their previous game. A 2-2 draw at Dorados's stadium before that.
