Queretaro come into this one playing well and full of confidence, having won their last three games in a row, even though they did lose a couple of matches earlier in the season. Monterrey have been up and down, with some good wins but also some heavy defeats, and they were held to a goalless draw in their most recent outing. When these two teams have met recently, the games have often produced plenty of goals, with some big scorelines going both ways, so this could be an open match rather than a tight, cautious one.

Looking at everything, this looks like a very even contest. Queretaro are in better form right now, but Monterrey have had the upper hand in this fixture over the years. With both sides capable of scoring and neither looking clearly stronger, the most likely outcome is a draw or a narrow win for Monterrey, so a score draw feels like a fair result.
