Team Form and Current Standing

Monterrey narrowly missed a direct spot in the Clausura 2025 playoffs, finishing the regular season seventh with 28 points after triumphing over León in the last match. Rayados aim to steer clear of any more turbulence following an unstable season, eager to secure their quarterfinal place. However, they’ve faced two home defeats in the current Mexican football season, along with another in Torreón. On the other hand, Pachuca secured the eighth position, equaling Monterrey’s points but playing the Play-In away due to a lesser goal difference. The Tuzos ended their regular season with a 2-1 loss against San Luis, which barred them from hosting the Play-In, casting a shadow over their form heading into the playoffs.
