Tijuana form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Liga MX ended in defeat. Last season Tijuana had these away match statistics: Played 9; won 1, drew 4 and lost 4. Three has not been a lucky number for Tijuana as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Tigres UANL match.

Tijuana's previous game was their home loss versus Toluca (0-2). Midfielder Lucas Rodríguez was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.42. Rodríguez hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 6 of 11 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leon wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tijuana playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were six Tijuana wins, one draw and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Tijuana are hosting Puebla in the Liga MX only four days away.

Tijuana have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
