Monterrey would look to stay clear of Pumas in Liga MX top-five when the two sides meet at Estadio BBVA on Wednesday.
Although both sides enter the tie on the back of wins, Rayados have not been consistent with their results of late. Martin Demichelis' men picked up their first win in four games when they pipped Tigres 4-2 at the weekend.
The visitors trail Monterrey by just a point, as Gustavo Lema's side have managed to register four wins in their last five games, last beating Atletico San Luis 3-0 at home.
