Two sides vying to make it through the Final Series square off as Mazatlan prepare to host Queretaro at home.
Mazatlan are currently trailing in the 15th position in the table with just 13 points from 13 games. Three losses and just two wins in their previous five games have deflated their campaign and the home side have a daunting task lying in front of them if they want to climb up the ladder. Just four points off the last qualification spot, Mazatlan can put pressure on the sides above them with four wins from their remaining four games.
Queretaro, on the other hand, are in a more comfortable position than their rivals. Just two points off the qualification spot, the visitors could march into the Final Series with a victory on Friday. After a draw and two shambolic losses, Queretaro returned to form with a victory against Club Tijuana. Pablo Barerra's 83rd-minute strike turned out to be the difference between the two sides and the manager would be hoping to see a similar kind of determination against Mazatlan.
