Club de Fútbol Monterrey face a fixture that could halt their slide this Sunday, hosting Tigres UANL at Estadio BBVA for matchday 8 of the Apertura, aiming to reverse the result of their last meeting (1-0).
Monterrey's need
The Rayados sit 11th in Liga MX with 9 points from 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses in their first six games. Their most recent defeat came 2-0 away at Toluca on September 7, with goals from Alexis Vega in the 4th minute and Helio Junior Nunes de Castro in the 70th, the same match in which Esteban Andrada started in goal according to the club's last listed lineup.
The visitors and the head-to-head
Tigres UANL, currently 15th in the table, arrive off a 1-1 draw with Necaxa on September 6. The last direct meeting between the sides went to the visitors, who won 1-0 on March 8, a result still felt around the Monterrey dressing room after just one win in their last five matches (1W-1D-3L).
The home coaching staff must find answers before the upcoming break, and fans can check the squad list on the club's squad page ahead of team news. Supporters can also track the gap to the top, currently 7 points behind leaders Club America, on the standings page.
