Monterrey host Atlas at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer on Sunday (July 9) in the Liga MX Apertura.
The hosts opened their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Atletico de San Luis. Former Benfica man Rogelio Funes Mori opened the scoring in the first half before Atletico drew level from the spot after the break. Argentine international Esteban Andrada then saved a penalty midway through the second half to ensure that the spoils were shared.
Monterrey are seventh in the league table with one point. They will now look to pick up their first win of the new campaign this weekend.
Trending
Atlas, meanwhile, enjoyed a winning start to their Apertura campaign, beating Cruz Azul 2-0 at the Estadio Jalisco. Eduardo Aguirre opened the scoring five minutes after kickoff. He was joined on the scoresheet by team captain Aldo Rocha before Uruguay international Brian Lozano received a late red card.
