Monterrey And Cougars will compete against each other in the first leg League MX Apertura quarterfinals at Estadio BBVA on Thursday.

There was little difference between Pumas and Monterrey in the regular season, with the two teams finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Both teams will leave no stone unturned as they fight for a place in the next round of the Liguilla, but the Pumas appear to have a slight advantage ahead of this encounter.

Pumas have been one of the most determined teams in recent months, suffering just one defeat in their last nine games since September. Their defensive resilience is reflected in their record: they conceded the second-fewest goals in the regular season, just one more than league leaders Cruz Azul. However, their struggles in front of goal remain a concern. Of the eight teams in the playoffs, the Pumas have the lowest goal percentage with just 21 goals. Cesar Huerta was their top scorer, but his return of five goals highlights their lack of firepower.

Monterrey, on the other hand, experienced ups and downs in the regular season. A heavy 4-0 defeat against Cruz Azul marked a low point, but a thrilling 4-2 win in the Clásico Norteno provided a significant morale boost. However, Martin Demichelis’ side had difficulty prevailing against other quarter-finalists as they managed just one win, two draws and four defeats in these duels.

Their encounters with the Pumas have been particularly close, including a goalless draw at the end of October and a penalty shootout defeat in the League Cup after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Monterrey must overcome these hurdles to overcome a determined Pumas squad and keep their playoff hopes alive.
