Los Rayados will host La Franja in what seems to be as the most uneven matchup in the wild card weekend. Will there be a surprise in the making when these teams clash at the 'Gigante de Acero'?

What has been Monterrey and Puebla's form ahead of this game?

Monterrey will get to this clash on a two-game streak without a win in all comps. Prior to that, Monterrey had put up their best winning streak of the tournament with four wins in a row. Los Rayados' final game of the season saw Mohamed's men succumb to Chivas with a 3-1 score, which denied Monterrey a spot in the playoffs without needing to play the wild card phase.

Puebla on the other hand ended the competition with two straight wins, which made up for a baffiling run where they only collected one point out of four games. Those similar one-nil wins against Atlas and Atlético San Luis cemented their spot in the wild card weekend. La Franja's record on the road was not that impressive as they collected four wins, but they ended up on the losing side five times.

In what position did Monterrey and Puebla end in the Guard1anes 2020 season?

As for Puebla, La Franja concluded the regular season in 12th place, with their record showing six wins, two draws, and nine losses. Juan Reynoso's side scored 22 goals, but their defense was a bit shaky at times and ended up allowing 25 goals.
