Mazatlán form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mazatlán so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).

The manager Sánchez was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue. Mazatlán suffered a 1-2 loss to America (placed 1st). It's probably bad news for Mazatlán that their goalie Gonzalez pulled off six saves in the America match, but still were unable to save them from a defeat.

Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Tigres UANL.
