The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

A 1-1 draw at Leon's stadium before that.

We have checked recent matches where Querétaro have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were zero victories, three draws and seven defeats.

Goals are few and far between in Querétaro's away league games. Only 3 goals from 9 travels. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Querétaro have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
