Monterrey form and stats

0-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for Monterrey so far this season. All in all it has been a very rough period for Monterrey who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against America, 85 days ago.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Monterrey, who played 2-2 against Atletico San Luis. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio BBVA Bancomer). Prior to that, an away loss at Juarez in the Copa MX.

A disappointing finish for Monterrey in their match versus Atletico San Luis as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

The Monterrey fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Monterrey have conceded 8 from these games.
