Monterrey will take on Cruz Azul in a Liga MX clash on Sunday at the BBVA Stadium. Both teams are desperate for a win after back-to-back defeats, which promises a thrilling contest this weekend.
Monterrey were on an impressive nine-match unbeaten run across all competitions but it was halted by defeats in their last two fixtures, against Nashville and Philadelphia Union in the Leagues Cup.
On the other hand, Cruz Azul's form has been worse. They have managed only one win in their last nine matches across all competitions and are firmly bottom of the league standings.
