Monterrey

LLLWLD

Monterrey enter this match after a 1-1 Primera (Clausura) Liguilla draw vs Santos Laguna.

In that game, Monterrey had 43% possession and 17 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. The scorer for Monterrey was Maximiliano Meza (30'). Santos Laguna had 8 shots at goal with 1 on target. Ronaldo Prieto (91') scored for Santos Laguna.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Monterrey have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Los Rayados have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 8 goals in the process. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this match, of course.

Puebla

DDLWLW ⚖

In that match, Puebla had 60% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Puebla was Santiago Ormeño (54'). On the other side, Santos Laguna got 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.

Clashes with Puebla have, in the main, been rather turgid ones latterly with a dearth of scoring being a real hallmark. During their past half dozen clashes, the measly gross goal total of 6 has been yielded between them as well as opposing sides at an average goals per game of 1.
