Querétaro form and stats

Querétaro's struggle is real here at Estadio La Corregidora with only 7 points collected from 8 Liga MX games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-3. When Querétaro hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Atletico San Luis, Mazatlan, Pumas UNAM, Tijuana and Querétaro), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Querétaro have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 207 minutes without scoring a league goal. Nahuelpán was the last player to find the net.

The fans are hoping that Querétaro will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Puebla. Midfield player Rivera got a match rating of 7.21 in that game, the max score being 10. Rivera hit three key passes and had 51 successful passes (of 54 total).

Before that, Querétaro played out a draw 0-0 when visiting America.

Querétaro has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Querétaro defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. Querétaro has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Atlas form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atlas so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Atlas as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Guadalajara match.

Atlas had fun at their own home (Estadio La Corregidora) last time out, beating Mazatlan 2-1. Furch and Quiñones scored. Quiñones, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.82. Quiñones scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

The game before was the Copa por México-battle against Guadalajara, a home loss (0-1).

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Santos Laguna in just four days.

The attacking power of Atlas when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Atlas have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
