The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Morelia are in the 9th position while the guesting Atlético San Luis worry at 13th.

Overall Liga MX stats at home this season for Morelia are 1-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).

Morelia's last game was hosting Queretaro (placed 12th) and winning 4-0. Before that match, a win away at Necaxa.
