Monterrey have 22 points running out as the team playing at home. Tijuana have claimed 15 points using the away locker rooms. Could we look at anything else than a home win?

Insights:
  • Monterrey have the most matches under the total-line (16) in Liga MX
  • Tijuana have the most conceded goals (27) in Liga MX

3-9-16 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Tijuana when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 28 matches are 21-50 (scored/conceded).

This has all the signs of an engaging match with lots of spark and bustle as both teams are well refreshed since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!

Monterrey form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga MX, Monterrey have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games.

Janssen was the last player to score a league goal for Monterrey and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Monterrey haven't scored in 291 minutes.

Monterrey lost their last game at Pachuca after a 0-3 scoreline. Midfield player González got a match rating of 7.22 in that game, the max score being 10. González hit three key passes and had 41 successful passes (of 49 total).

Tijuana form and stats

Tijuana have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Liga MX, after 1-2-5 (8 played).

Tijuana's last game was the home draw against Querétaro (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Querétaro after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Pardiñas needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Angulo, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.73. Angulo served one assist, hit three key passes and won 9 of 15 duels.

Prior to that match, the Tijuana manager Pardiñas faced defeat when travelling to Guadalajara and losing 1-2.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tijuana as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league.
