LWLWWL

Monterrey will be hoping for a better result after a 1-2 Primera (Clausura) Liguilla defeat in their last game at the hands of Pachuca.

In that game, Monterrey had 46% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player to score for Monterrey was Germán Berterame (51'). Pachuca got 21 attempts on goal with 8 on target. Eduardo Bauermann (82') and Salomón Rondón (87') scored for Pachuca.

Monterrey haven’t had any problems with scoring, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last 6 games.

They’ve hit an aggregate of 9 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 7. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will be sustained here.

👥 Head to head

Looking over their past head to head results going back to 22/10/2023 shows that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for Universidad Nacional. They’ve not been able to get themselves any wins at all while Monterrey have simply been better than them, winning in 83 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.

In all, 17 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 13 from Los Rayados and 4 being from Pumas. The average goals per game has been 2.83.

The previous league fixture between the two was Liga MX (Clausura) match day 12 on 17/03/2025 when it finished Universidad Nacional 1-3 Monterrey.

On the other side, Monterrey got 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Sergio Canales (49'), Iker Fimbres (54') and Germán Berterame (71') scored.

🗞️ Team News: Monterrey

There’s just one fitness concern for the Monterrey manager Martín Demichelis to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Carlos Salcedo (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that Universidad Nacional could well find it tough to put one past this Monterrey lineup who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore expecting a very competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Monterrey when the full-time whistle blows.

Expecting it to be tight.
