Atletico Morelia
- With 6 points from 3 games, Atletico Morelia currently sit 5th in the Liga de Expansion 2025/2026 table, whilst Mineros de Zacatecas are 9th after picking up 4 points from 4 fixtures.
- Atletico Morelia have lost just 1 of their last 5 matches (Won 2, drawn 2).
- Morelia will press high up the field and look to play on the front foot, whilst their ability to play vertical passing and counter attack has been particularly impressive so far.
Mineros de Zacatecas
- Mineros de Zacatecas are 9th after picking up 4 points from 4 fixtures.
- Despite being favorites, Mineros haven’t found their best form so far this season, with their recent results being a 2-0 defeat away at Alebrijes Oaxaca and a 0-0 draw at home to Atletico La Paz.
- Luis Munoz’s Mineros have played a compact 5-4-1 or 5-2-3 formation under him since his appointment as Head Coach in September 2025, with the team focusing on being solid defensively and allowing the defence to remain compact and tough to break down.
- This tactical style has been tough for teams to crack, especially at home, where they remain unbeaten after 2 home matches.
Head-to-Head
Despite the fact that Morelia won their most recent head-to-head match 3-0 at home, they have failed to win in their two previous trips to Zacatecas.
