Monterrey will be looking to extend their unbeaten start to the Liga MX Apertura when they host last-placed Cruz Azul at the Estadio BBVA on Sunday.
The hosts have won their last two league games, including a 3-1 victory over Tigres UANL in their last home match. They will be without the suspended Stefan Medina, but will be boosted by the return of Rogelio Funes Mori from injury.
Cruz Azul are one of two teams without a win in five league games and are last in the standings with one point. They have struggled to score goals, finding the net just once in their last four matches.
The match is expected to be a close one, with Monterrey the slight favorites. However, Cruz Azul will be hoping to pull off an upset and get their season back on track.
