Monterrey form and stats

Things could have gone better for Monterrey in their Liga MX away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. One point away has become something of a habit for Monterrey who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Monterrey has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Tijuana for a Liga MX game that ended a draw (2-2). Defender Daniel Parra was the best team player with a rating of 7.14. Parra won 9 of 10 duels. It looked so good for Monterrey vs Tijuana, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

A draw for Monterrey before that, at their own venue hosting Guadalajara (0-0).

Monterrey have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. 4 goals have been conceded by Monterrey in these games.

Head 2 Head
