In their most recent home performances, they've managed to score an average of just 0.80 goals per game, while conceding 1.60. Despite a spirited 2-1 win away at FC Juarez, home defeats against the likes of Toluca and U.N.A.M. - Pumas highlight their vulnerabilities on their own turf.

However, the defensive lapses on both sides make "Both Teams to Score" the most probable betting outcome for this match, with a fair degree of confidence.
