Queretaro’s confidence is at a low
Gallos Blancos Queretaro enter this clash with CF Rayados de Monterrey in terrible shape after posting 1 win and 4 defeats from their last 5 games. This is the type of contest where the visitors can sneak a win against a side low on confidence and that is our recommendation for this Saturday night's game at Estadio La Corregidora.
This contest will be won in the transition and in the wide areas, and Monterrey have a little more punch in the final third to win it. Esteban Gonzalez's side are playing a 4-2-3-1 system that can tighten up into a 4-4-2 when they need to, but their defense will have to work as a team and wide combinations will be essential.
- Ali Avila top scores for Queretaro in Liga MX 2026/2027 with 4 in 9 matches and he has bagged two of his team's last 5 goals.
- Hugo Cuypers has come good of late for the visitors with 3 goals in his last 5 and Oliver Torres has provided 3 assists in that same time frame.
Monterrey will want to make amends for recent away defeats
Form and tactics
Lucas Ocampos top scores for Rayados in the league with 5 in 7 and that little bit of quality in the front line could be the deciding factor here. Matias Almeyda has his team playing a high-tempo 4-2-3-1 in which they press in the mid-block before turning their opponents over and counter attacking quickly out wide.
Recent results and betting
The Rayados are 2-1-2 in their last 5 and they've responded to a 3-3 home draw with Tijuana by losing 4-0 away at Toluca last weekend. So there is a bounce-back factor for Monterrey here, but they've still won just 2, drawn 1 and lost 4 of their 7 away matches in Liga MX 2026/2027.
Queretaro have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their 6 home games, averaging 1.33 goals per game scored and 1.50 goals conceded. Monterrey have conceded 14 away goals, so the better play here is for Rayados to nick it and Under 2.5 goals at 2.31 is a live underdog bet.
