Monterrey form and stats

0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Monterrey playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season. Monterrey are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the América fixture. Monterrey has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Monterrey's last game was the home draw against Atlético San Luis (2-2). It was a Copa MX defeat before that one as the away game against Juarez wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

It looked so good for Monterrey vs Atlético San Luis, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Monterrey in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Monterrey, two draws and three defeats.
