With the nervous opening game out of the way it's time for the second Liga MX game of the season. Queretaro look forward to welcoming Tijuana in front of their home support.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This pitch has grass, which is not Tijuana's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Tijuana have performed like this: Played 35 matches resulting in 6 wins, 6 draws and 23 defeats with the goal stats 25-63 (scored/conceded).
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2600 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Querétaro form and stats
Querétaro has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager V. Vucetich Rojas and the players.
In their previous game, the manager V. Vucetich Rojas led his Querétaro to a defeat in the Liga MX match away at León. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio La Corregidora. Preceding that match was the home game against Necaxa that was lost 2-3.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Querétaro have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa MX game versus Juarez in only two days. This game is also played here at Estadio La Corregidora.
Last season, Querétaro's league statistics were 3 wins, 2 draws and 12 losses, resulting in a 17th position in the Liga MX. Over these 17 matches they scored 11 goals and conceded 30. Playing at home last season Querétaro managed 3-2-4 (win-draw-lost) with 8 goals and 11 conceded.
Tijuana form and stats
The supporters enjoyed Tijuana's previous game versus Santos Laguna (placed 16th), a Liga MX 2-1 win played at home. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus León.
We have checked recent matches where Tijuana have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were W3-D1-L4.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tijuana manager G. Quinteros Desábato as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Atletico San Luis.
Let's have a look at how Tijuana performed last season in the Liga MX: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. In total they scored 25 and conceded 20 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 1 and lost 5 with 8/12 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Tijuana - Querétaro 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Querétaro, 2 draws and 4 wins for Tijuana. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.Top Goalscorers
