Querétaro

- Estadio La Corregidora will host the game on Wednesday.
- González is a former defender who is known for keeping it tight and making his teams tough to break down.

Cruz Azul

- They have accumulated 28 points from 14 games this Liga MX season.

- Expected scorelines: 2 - 0 or 2 - 1 to Cruz Azul, but a hard-fought draw is possible if Querétaro successfully frustrate their opponents.
