Recent form

Cruz Azul

Cruz Azul's recent form shows a strong defensive record with an impressive four clean sheets in their last six matches, conceding only 0.33 goals per game. While they've remained unbeaten during this period, their offensive output has been inconsistent, with a notable four-game drawing streak in their most recent matches. The team's goal-scoring ability is highlighted by two high-scoring victories: a 3-0 win against Club Tijuana and a remarkable 4-0 away victory over Monterrey. However, their recent matches have been characterized by low-scoring affairs, with 67% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite the drawing streak, Cruz Azul's overall goal difference of +7 in these six games demonstrates their potential for dominant performances when firing on all cylinders.

Mazatlán

Mazatlán's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with an interesting turnaround in their last two games. After suffering three consecutive losses in Liga MX, including a 3-0 defeat to Toluca, they've managed to bounce back with two impressive wins in the Leagues Cup. Their defensive record has improved significantly in these last two matches, keeping clean sheets against both Nashville SC and DC United, which is a stark contrast to the nine goals they conceded in the previous four games. The team's goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with three goalless games followed by two 2-goal performances. Their total goals average of 2.5 per game suggests exciting matches, with an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Cruz Azul

Cruz Azul has displayed impressive home form, going unbeaten in their last six matches with four wins and two draws. They are currently on a three-game winning streak at home, which was only recently halted by a draw against Toluca. The team has been defensively solid, keeping three clean sheets and conceding an average of just 0.67 goals per game. Offensively, they've been consistent, scoring in every match and netting 10 goals across the six games. The standout performance was a high-scoring 3-2 victory over Club América in a friendly, which also represents their highest-scoring game in this stretch. With 67% of their matches seeing under 2.5 goals, Cruz Azul's home games have tended to be relatively low-scoring affairs, emphasizing their defensive stability.

Mazatlán

Mazatlán's recent away form presents an interesting contrast, with their last six games showing a clear split between their Liga MX and Leagues Cup performances. The team endured a four-game losing streak in their domestic league and early Leagues Cup matches, failing to score in any of these games while conceding seven goals. However, they've shown a remarkable turnaround in their last two Leagues Cup fixtures, securing back-to-back wins against Nashville SC and DC United, scoring two goals in each game and keeping a clean sheet against Nashville. This sudden improvement in form is particularly noteworthy given their previous goal-scoring drought and defensive struggles. While there were no particularly high-scoring games, the 3-0 loss to Toluca stands out as their heaviest defeat in this period.
