Queretaro FC - Coming off a Win Against Tijuana (WWDDL)

Going in the matchup, Queretaro is coming off a win against Club Tijuana (1-2), in which Jose Zuniga and Angel Sepulveda scored goals. Coach Mauro Gerk was spot-on in calling the shots and assisting his teams in getting over the line. With Sepulveda and Zuniga leading the attack, Queretaro will be feeling confident for the upcoming outing against Tigres. However, they will need to improve their ball possession, as in the last match, they had a possession of just 35%. From the last five matches played, Queretaro has scored 7 goals and conceded 7 goals. In 4 of the last 5 matches played, Queretaro has conceded goals. Hence, the home side will be shaping up to minimize the scoring from Tigres’ end early in the contest. When playing at home in the last 10 home matches, Queretaro averages 1.40 goals. Compared to the scoring average, the conceding average is 1.60 goals. Hence, Queretaro is likely to concede at least a goal or more.
