Cruz Azul form and stats

It's not happening yet for Cruz Azul on their Liga MX travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?

Cruz delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Santos Laguna (placed 10th) in their previous match. The attacker Antuna got a match rating of 8.4 in that game. Antuna scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and had 31 successful passes (of 36 total).

Before that game, 0-0 away against Charlotte (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the Leagues Cup.

The schedule is very tough for Cruz Azul now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga MX game at Monterrey is waiting in only four days.

{1 goals} so far away for Cruz Azul, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - two - six (Pachuca wins - draws - Cruz Azul wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
