Meanwhile for Mazatlan the theme in this calendar year is inconsistent results. In 2024 they have failed to string together back-to-back victories.

Queretaro vs. Mazatlan Betting Prediction

Queretaro Preview

Los Gallos Blancos have had a nice turnaround compared to their 14th-place finish in the 2023 Apertura season. They have already exceeded their last domestic competition points total by two with three games left to spare. Queretaro is a club that likes to sit back, absorb the pressure, and try to hit the opposition on the counter. In 2024 this side ranks dead last in the league for possession on the pitch averaging 34.6 percent per match.

The hybrid attacking player upfront for Los Gallos Blancos, Pablo Barrera is having a phenomenal campaign. The veteran player has registered two goals and two assists in his last four matches. In 1169 minutes played, the 36-year-old leads his side in the goals department with five and leads the team’s assist category with five.

Mazatlan Preview

If Mazatlan has any shot to sneak into the play in round, with their three remaining games it’s must-win territory as they currently sit three points back. Currently sitting in 12th place, the Cañoneros are 10 points off their Apertura points total. The window is rapidly closing and will find the back of the net on a more regular basis as they have only managed to score two or more goals seven times through 14 matches.

Accounting for 39 percent of Mazatlan goals in 2024, Luis Amarilla will need to put in another monster performance if they want to have any shot at snatching an upset win. Last weekend saw the 28-year-old three-game scoring streak come to an end. In 90 minutes of play he was featured in, Amarilla finished with four total shots with only one hitting the target.

Queretaro vs. Mazatlan - My Pick

Throughout the campaign, Queretaro has performed much more efficiently on the road than at home. In seven home games, they have only managed to collect two victories and nine points, making them the 13th-best home side in Liga MX. On defence, Los Gallos Blancos have conceded nine goals which puts them in the middle of the pact of the competition for home goals allowed.

On the other hand, Mazatlan away performances have been their Achilles heel. Seven road games have seen them only collect one point, which puts them as the third-worst away side in the Clausura. They have also conceded the second most road goals with 19. With the current visiting form Mazatlan has shown, this is a situational spot for the home side can overcome their poor home performances and overshadow it by taking advantage facing a winless roadside.
