D1 - Football - Mexico - Expansion League

Cimarrones Sonora
Cimarrones saw their three matches without a loss streak come to a halt when they lost 2-1 against Tlaxcala FC for barely their second defeat in 11 games this season. Currently, in second position, the team returns to Heroes de Nacozari stadium in which they remain unbeaten looking to bounce back from an unexpected defeat against one of the weakest teams of the league.

For that, they need Rai Oscar Villa de Los Reyes to continue scoring, with four goals in three matches has risen to be the scoring leader with five goals in seven matches. If something characterize Cimarrones de Sonora when playing at home is scoring, they have scored at least two goals everything time they have played at home. And their defence was able to finally get a clean sheet against Leones Negros in the last match at home, but that was against one of the worst offensive sides.

Tepatitlan de Morelos
After the loss against Mineros Zacatecas, Tepatitlan bounce quickly to victory when they defeated Tapatio at away. Took advantage of a streak of three consecutive matches at home, a draw against top of the league Celaya was followed by two victories against Dorados and Atlante, which have them only two points from second placed Cimarrones Sonora.

The team is strong at home, and rather irregular at away, yet they arrive in great form coming from two consecutive wins. Having scored goal in the last four matches, yet only once at away have they have been able to get in the score sheet. They have shown an improvement as the season progress and need to reflect it here by getting on the score sheet. Currently, they are the best defense of the league, something they might work hard in this match to keep.

Match
A key match when few rounds are left before the final series. Expect a match dominated by Cimarrones, with Tepatitlan looking to build up from their strong defence, which performs better at home. Therefore, expect important scoring chances from both sides.

Prediction
Cimarrones de Sonora needs a good result from this match, the defeat against Tlaxcala has put them without margin and now encounters a solid side. But nevertheless there will be goals in this match, Cimarrones de Sonora attack will provide to be too much for Tepatitlan defence, forcing them to look to get in the score sheet. A close match with at least a goal per team, yet it might come to close for comfort.
