Monterrey

The stats tell the story, and Monterrey have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 9 goals overall. Defensively, Monterrey could really do with shoring things up. We will find out if that trend can be sustained here.
Coming into this fixture, Monterrey are winless against León when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.

Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Monterrey boss Martín Demichelis to be concerned about. Carlos Salcedo (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

Prediction
We are of the inclination to think that Monterrey and León may well both score at least one goal each although picking a clear a winner isn’t easy.
An eventful draw is therefore a real possibility, and we are expecting it to be very tight. Therefore, we predict a very even match with a 2-2 score draw at the end of the 90.
