It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga MX.
Cruz Azul form and stats
The story so far in the Liga MX for Cruz Azul at their home stadium (Estadio Azteca) is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. It's trouble wherever Cruz Azul are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Cruz faced defeat in their previous match, away at América (0-7). Cruz Azul were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Romero (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.35/10. Romero hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and had 23 successful passes (of 28 total).
Preceding that match was the home game against Tijuana that was lost 1-2.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Cruz's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 6 matches, drawn 0 and lost 1.
Goals, goals, goals? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 latest league matches with this side has had at least three goals.
Cruz Azul are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. Cruz Azul have conceded 9 from these games.
Querétaro form and stats
0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Querétaro playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season.
The manager Larrea was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Estadio La Corregidora. Querétaro suffered a 0-1 loss to América (placed 3rd). That defeat was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. Silva was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.43. The defender Silva hit one key pass and won 6 of 9 duels.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Tijuana.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites.
