2-1-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Monterrey when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those five matches are 8-8 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Guadalajara nor Monterrey as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Guadalajara form and stats

All-inclusive Liga MX results at home this season for Guadalajara are 0-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). Three draws in a row here at Estadio AKRON for Guadalajara, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

A strong away win for Guadalajara against Necaxa the last match, as Beltran, Alvarado and Zaldívar (2) were on target. This was their first victory after ten consecutive league fixtures without winning! As mentioned above, Guadalajara "killed" Necaxa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Zaldívar, who usually features in attack, was the champion player for the team in that match, collecting a rating of 8.22 (out of 10). Zaldívar scored two goals and hit three key passes.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Atlas that ended 1-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Guadalajara as they have a new game in only four days, a Liga MX match thankfully also at home. Pumas UNAM are visiting.

The lack of attacking qualities in Guadalajara means that they have only scored 1 goal in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Guadalajara have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
