Tijuana form and stats

There's been little loot from Tijuana's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 8 away games in the Liga MX. Tijuana, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Liga MX, only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. The last three matches for Tijuana have all ended in a draw. Visiting Tijuana has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Tijuana have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 212 minutes ago. V. Loroña was the goal scorer. 219 minutes! That's how long the Tijuana goalkeeper Jonathan Emmanuel Orozco Dominguez and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Tijuana are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Juarez. A draw for Tijuana before that, at their own venue hosting Pumas UNAM (0-0).

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Tijuana's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Tijuana manager P. Guede Barriero has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
