They have scored 49 goals in these games and conceded 61.

Monterrey form and stats

Monterrey have played 8 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The Monterrey fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga MX game also here at Estadio BBVA Bancomer: A 0-1 defeat against Pachuca. Previous to that game, a CONCACAF Champions League home match hosting Deportivo Pantoja in a game that was won 3-1.

The penalty miss from Rogelio Funes Mori in the defeat against Pachuca was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Monterrey have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost two.

The manager J. Aguirre Onaindía will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tigres UANL in only three days.

A decent goal production from Monterrey in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. On the other hand, Monterrey have conceded 9 goals.

Guadalajara form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Guadalajara playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season.

The supporters enjoyed Guadalajara's previous game versus Tijuana, a Liga MX 2-0 win played at home. A 0-1 defeat away at Cruz Azul before that.

Guadalajara are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, three draws and four defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

Guadalajara has another fixture away, a Liga MX game, against Atlas in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Guadalajara have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Guadalajara have conceded 8 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
