Morelia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 12 points and a 16th position in the Liga MX table. Visiting Tijuana holds 9th place with 22 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Tijuana's home stadium. The visitors last 34 games on grass have ended in 5 wins, 9 draws and 20 losses. Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Morelia form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Morelia have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses so far from their games here at Estadio Generalísimo José María Morelos y Pavón.The home team returns to Estadio Generalísimo José María Morelos y Pavón after sharing the points with Tigres UANL on their last time out; the Liga MX game ended 3-3. Ahead of that match, Morelia won a home game hosting Guadalajara (1-0).
This is expected to be a close game, with Morelia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Morelia as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Morelia has won 4 of these, drawn 5 and lost 5.
The Morelia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Morelia defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Tijuana form and stats
Tijuana have only collected 7 points from their away games after 2-1-5 (8 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Tijuana's last three away games as they have all been lost.The manager Ó. Pareja was unhappy after their last game, a Liga MX match played at their home ground Estadio Generalísimo José María Morelos y Pavón. Tijuana suffered a 1-2 loss to Lobos BUAP. A 0-1 defeat away at Pumas UNAM before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tijuana playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were 2 Tijuana wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.
Tijuana are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. Tijuana have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
