Mazatlán form and stats

Mazatlán have played 8 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mazatlán with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Necaxa game, 133 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

No payout for Mazatlán in their previous match, an away game at America that ended in defeat 0-6. As you see from the result above, Mazatlán suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Venegas, defender, was given a rating of 6.44/10 in that game, top of the team. Venegas won 0 of 1 duels.

Before that game, the home loss against Santos Laguna with the scoreline 1-2.

Everyone expects Mazatlán to win this match. We have checked our database for matches where they have been as big a favourite and found 8 games: 5 home wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Mazatlán have won with at least two goals margin 2 times in similar situations.
