Querétaro and Cruz Azul meet so often they know each other well, but in the last six meetings Querétaro have managed only one win, with the other side taking all the rest. This time Querétaro are back at home sitting 8th and in stuttering form, unlike previous meetings where they tended to sit back and wait to counter. Querétaro have just lost 0-5 at home in the league, a match where their defence fell apart. Before that they had won two in a row with clean sheets, but when they face a team that presses high they can't cope. Cruz Azul, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five and have just thrashed their opponents 5-0 in the league as well. Their attack averages over two goals per game throughout the season, but they concede a fair amount too. If Querétaro can defend tightly and not concede first, the game should stretch out until the late stages when they often score. And if the hosts score first, Cruz Azul will have to commit more to attack, which will open space for Querétaro to counter effectively.
