Match Preview
The Apertura 2026 regular season has no Play-In round. Only the top eight clubs reach the Liguilla quarterfinals.
Tijuana are seventh with 21 points from 14 matches, with five wins, six draws and three defeats. They have scored 22 goals and conceded 18.
Monterrey are eighth with 20 points from 13 matches, with six wins, two draws and five defeats. They have scored 23 goals and conceded 18.
Monterrey have played one match fewer than Tijuana. Queretaro also start on 20 points, in ninth place, so eighth place is under pressure.
A Monterrey win would lift the hosts to 23 points and above Tijuana. A Tijuana win would move the visitors to 24 points.

Team News
Orbelin Pineda is suspended for Monterrey. He was sent off late in the defeat by Chivas de Guadalajara, and the club’s appeal against the red card was rejected this week.
Head coach Matias Almeyda is also suspended. Sent off after the final whistle against Chivas de Guadalajara, he will watch away from the bench.
Uros Djurdjevic remains out for Monterrey with a muscle injury. Sports Illustrated reported this week that the forward is still sidelined.
Lucas Ocampos missed a training session this week with a viral infection. He has since returned to training normally.
Tijuana lose Jesus Gomez to suspension. He was sent off in stoppage time of the 1-1 draw at Club America on Wednesday.
Gilberto Mora is back for Tijuana. He returned as a substitute in the 57th minute at Club America, his first league action after five matches out.
Mora is still Tijuana’s top scorer this tournament, with five goals. Whether he starts has not been confirmed.
Key Storylines
Tijuana have had the better of this fixture lately. Monterrey have not beaten Tijuana in the last five meetings between the clubs.
Four of those five meetings finished as draws. The exception was Tijuana’s 2-1 win at Monterrey in March 2025.
The last two meetings both finished 2-2, most recently at Monterrey in February 2026.
Monterrey must win without their coach and their playmaker. The suspensions remove the hosts’ voice on the bench and a key creator in midfield.
Draws follow Tijuana around. Tijuana have drawn six of their 14 matches this season, including four of their last five, so a tight finish is the recent pattern.
Prediction
Tijuana are hard to beat and have not lost to Monterrey in five meetings. Monterrey miss Pineda, but they carry the stronger attack. Prediction: Monterrey 1-1 Tijuana.
