The visiting New Mexico United side should be favourites in this visit to Real Monarchs, as the away team holds a 10 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
The hosts Real Monarchs saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the USL Championship. Thankfully the previous game, versus Colorado Springs, was also a home game here at Isotopes Park. The away team is better rested.
Real Monarchs form and stats
With 2 USL Championship wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Real Monarchs, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in USL Championship, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Monarchs after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Monarchs's last game was hosting Colorado Springs (placed 4th) and winning 4-1. Before that, Monarchs had a home game versus Seattle Sounders II which ended with a victory 1-0.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the USL Championship game versus Portland Timbers II in only four days. This game is also played here at Isotopes Park.
The Monarchs fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Monarchs have conceded 10 in these home matches.
New Mexico United form and stats
As the visiting team in USL Championship matches, New Mexico United, who have the most scored goals (19) in USL Championship, have produced an overall stat of 6-2-3 so far.
There might be some fixture complaints from Mexico as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the USL Championship match against El Paso Locomotive (2-3). Before that, New Mexico United travelled to Colorado Springs and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Mexico are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 11 away games so far. As opposed to that, New Mexico United have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
