An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga MX, with both Tijuana and Querétaro experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 17th place.

Insights:
  • Tijuana have the fewest scored goals (12) in Liga MX
  • Querétaro have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Liga MX

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

0-4-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Querétaro 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 six matches are 6-9 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Querétaro when visiting Tijuana as the cities are 2600 kilometers apart.

Tijuana form and stats

Overall Liga MX stats at home this season for Tijuana, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Liga MX, are 4-2-3 (wins-draw-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Tijuana to get some points in this home game. The Tijuana manager P. Guede Barriero might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Tijuana handle that role? We have found 17 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are eleven wins, two draws and four defeats.

Querétaro form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Querétaro, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Liga MX, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

Ángel Sepúlveda and Hugo Silveira scored in Querétaro's previous match, the home game against Atlético San Luis that ended 2-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Monterrey wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Querétaro are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and six defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Querétaro as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. As for defending, Querétaro rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 17 goals from these away matches.
