Match Preview
The Apertura 2026 regular season is played in two groups of nine, with the top four in each group reaching the Liguilla. Monterrey Femenil top Group A with 27 points, two clear of Tigres UANL, and they own the best attack in Group A with 39 goals.
Cruz Azul Femenil are sixth in the same group with 15 points. They are level with fifth-place Santos Laguna and six points behind fourth-place FC Juarez, so the margin for error is shrinking with three rounds left after this weekend.
Rayadas also carry a point to prove from last season. They are the Clausura 2026 runners-up after losing the final to America Femenil, and their Jornada 10 win over America was a measure of revenge.
The recent history between these two adds spice. The clubs met in the Clausura 2026 quarterfinals, and Monterrey advanced 2-1 on aggregate, drawing 1-1 in the first leg and winning the return 1-0 at Estadio BBVA.
Cruz Azul did beat Rayadas 4-0 during the Apertura 2025, the club’s first win in this fixture. But that win came at home: Cruz Azul have never won away to Monterrey.
Recent Form
League matches only. Monterrey Femenil have won five straight: 5-1 at home to Toluca, 3-2 at Chivas de Guadalajara Femenil, 10-0 at home to Necaxa Femenil, 2-1 at Puebla Femenil and 4-3 at home to America Femenil.
They have scored 24 goals across those five matches. The 4-3 win over America Femenil in Jornada 10 was the statement result, with two goals from Valerie Vargas and the equalizer from Aerial Chavarin.
Cruz Azul Femenil have taken nine points from their last five: wins at Queretaro (2-0), at home to Pumas UNAM (3-2) and at Necaxa Femenil (2-0), around defeats at Santos Laguna (2-0) and at home to Chivas de Guadalajara Femenil (1-0).
Team News
No injury or suspension has been confirmed for either club ahead of Saturday. Neither squad has an officially confirmed absence for this match.
Both clubs also return from the international break. Monterrey last played on October 2 and Cruz Azul on October 3, so both squads come back from two weeks without a league match.
Key Storylines
Aerial Chavarin against her former club. Chavarin left Cruz Azul for Monterrey ahead of this season and has been one of the signings of the Apertura. She scored twice against Toluca in Jornada 6 and struck the equalizer in the 4-3 win over America Femenil.
Lucía García and a relentless attack. García has seven goals this season, among the best marks in the league, and Monterrey have scored at least twice in each of their five straight wins. Cruz Azul’s defense, which has conceded 21 goals, faces its hardest test of the run-in.
Several players have worn both shirts. Valeria Valdez, Tanna Sánchez and Analu Martínez are now at Cruz Azul after spells with Monterrey, while Chavarin and Daniela Monroy went the other way. The familiarity cuts both ways on Saturday.
Cruz Azul’s search for a first win in Monterrey. La Maquina have tried and failed on every previous visit, and their one win in this fixture came at home. Breaking that run on Saturday would transform their Liguilla outlook.
What is next for Monterrey Femenil and Cruz Azul Femenil?
Monterrey Femenil face the biggest match of their run-in on Sunday, October 25: the Clasico Regio away to Tigres UANL at Estadio Universitario. Cruz Azul Femenil return home to face Toluca on Saturday, October 24, with the kickoff time still to be confirmed.
