Querétaro form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Querétaro so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Querétaro as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Mazatlán match.

Querétaro play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-4 to Toluca. Midfield player Barrera was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.31/10. Barrera served one assist and hit two key passes.

A 1-3 defeat away at León before that.

Betting related statistic: Both sides have scored in 11 of this club's latest 13 league fixtures.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Querétaro manager Larrea has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches. Querétaro has visited these top teams three times, and 2 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

América have managed a streak of 4 consecutive matches without losing (2-2-0) when playing Querétaro.

Oddly enough, Querétaro have found the net in every league game they've played since failing to score against today's home team; the Querétaro - América 0-1 match seven rounds ago.
