The first of two encounters in the CONCACAF Champions League 8th Finals, as the hometeam Arcahaie will try to edge Cruz Azul in their own ballpark.
The visiting Cruz Azul played their last game only four days ago, a Liga MX match. That game, against Juarez, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Cruz Azul.
Arcahaie form and stats
Arcahaie faced defeat in their previous match, away at Deportivo Saprissa (0-5).
Arcahaie were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Cruz Azul form and stats
They also participated in CONCACAF Champions League last season. This ended in the 8th finals.The away performances of Cruz Azul have been very solid so far with 6 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in the Liga MX. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Things are running smoothly for Cruz who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Puebla. Cruz Azul has been amazing away for a time now, winning six in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Santos Laguna.
Cruz play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Juarez. Before that, Cruz secured a home win against Atlas with the score 3-2.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Cruz Azul given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed one match with one win as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won zero of these games by at least two goals.
A new game in only four days for Cruz Azul, the Liga MX home match versus Guadalajara. Busy days.
Cruz Azul are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Cruz's manager J. Reynoso Guzmán has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
