Struggling Mazatlán will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Monterrey in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa MX game only three days ago. That game, against Tijuana, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Monterrey.
Mazatlán form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Mazatlán have to build on here in the Liga MX.
Mazatlán's previous game was a Liga MX match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Juarez (placed 12th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Leon.
The Mazatlán fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Mazatlán have conceded 11 from these games.
Monterrey form and stats
Playing away, Monterrey, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Liga MX, have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Liga MX this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Monterrey are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Two travels in a row for Monterrey, whose manager A. Mohamed Matijevich could celebrate last time after the Copa MX win against Tijuana. That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Puebla in the Liga MX.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Monterrey have scored 10 goals in 7 league games away. As opposed to that, Monterrey have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
