Monterrey /
Rayados has the leadership of the Apertura 2024 in sight and to get it they will have to overcome Mazatlán FC who will bring from return to Victor Manuel Vucetich at the Steel Giant at 7:00 p.m.
Monterrey will go for its third consecutive victory in the Liga MX, that allows them to take over the overall lead that they share with Cruz Azul.
Martín Demichelis’ team is tied with 19 points with La Máquina, who faces Chivas on Matchday 9, so a victory would put them in the fight.
Vucetich will step foot in the Monterrey Stadium for the first time after his resignation as helmsman of La Pandilla after the Clausura 2023, where he lost to Tigres in the Semifinals of a historic tournament.
The “King Midas” has a favorable streak against Rayados in Short Tournaments, adding 12 wins, six draws and four losses.
However, Rayados will be able to take advantage of Mazatlán FC’s poor performancewhich is in 13th place overall with just six points.
The Mazatlecos have four losses as visitors and only one loss in eight games against Pachuca.
Monterrey beat Santos Laguna and FC Juárez in their last two games, so the 9 out of 9 is close to being achieved by winning tonight at the Gigante.
Martín Demichelis will not have three important players for tomorrow: Germán Berterame, who was suspended for two games due to expulsion, and Gerardo Arteaga and Stefan Medina are recovering from their respective ailments.
The Rayados will have to embark on victory if they want to sign the general leadership of the Apertura 2024 and beat a Mazatlán FC that will bring back the most successful coach of its institution.
