Tijuana are depending on their home advantage to assist them during this game against Cruz Azul. Who will win at Estadio Caliente?

Insights:
  • Tijuana have the most conceded goals (20) in Liga MX
  • Cruz Azul have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

3-0-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Cruz Azul when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those four matches are 8-5 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Cruz Azul when visiting Tijuana as the cities are 2700 kilometers apart.

Tijuana form and stats

With 1 Liga MX win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Tijuana are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Tijuana are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 225 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by L. Rodriguez).

Tijuana lost their last game at Necaxa (placed 11th) after a 0-3 scoreline. Midfielder Esteban Pavez was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.04 (out of ten) in that game. Pavez hit three key passes and had 28 successful passes (of 32 total).

Before that, Tijuana drew at home versus Mazatlán.

The Tijuana fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. On the other hand, Tijuana have conceded 8 goals.
