Cruz Azul vs Monterrey Match Preview
Cruz Azul has exceeded expectations early on in this Apertura 2017, currently undefeated with 10 points. The Mexico City team has two wins and four draws to make up for those 10 points, a 1-1 draw against Necaxa being the latest result for La Maquina. Spanish forward Edgar Mendez scored his fourth goal of the season to give Cruz Azul the point from that game.
The defense has left a bit to be desired for Paco Jemez but his attack with Edgar Mendez, Angel Mena and Felipe Mora is very promising. Cruz Azul will be facing one of the early title contenders, Monterrey and should have a very challenging task.
Monterrey has shined above every other team in the Liga MX and is currently undefeated in first with 16 points. The latest result for Los Rayados was a 4-1 win against Toluca at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer, making it their fifth win this season. Monterrey’s goal differential is the best in the Liga MX at the massive mark of 11 and is head and shoulders above the rest with six being the second best in the league held by Tigres UANL.
The attack is easily the strongest component of the team with a combined 12 goals from Rogelio Funes Mori, Dorlan Pabon, Aviles Hurtado and Carlos Sanchez. Funes Mori and Pabon lead the team with four goals each and will surely mark their presence on this game. The game should be very exciting and should be filled with goals to make for one of the best matchups this weekend in the Liga MX.
