Neither team has any injured or suspended players, so if necessary they will be able to count on a full roster and their best players for this 14th matchday of the Clausura 2024. The big question is whether Monterrey will use its best players, but the light blue team will have a full roster.

The record leans towards Monterrey, as they have met on the last 13 occasions, leaving a record of 7 wins for Monterrey, 5 draws and only one victory for Cruz Azul, so this Saturday they will be the favorites to take the 3 points but there is the expectation that they will keep players for the CONCACAF Champions League.

Monterrey has just defeated Inter of Miami in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals, the big question for this weekend is whether they will keep some players for the second leg or play with a full squad to visit Cruz Azul, Los Rayados are in second place tied with América with 28 points and a record of 8 wins, 4 ties and only one loss, being one of the most solid teams in this campaign, they will be looking for 3 points in the away game to almost assure finishing in the top 4 of the general table, this is how the two teams arrive to this match that promises to have a lot of intensity, goals and emotions.

Cruz Azul comes from last week's scoreless draw against Pumas, a match where the strategy did not work for Cruz Azul and despite having more ball possession and being much more dangerous, they were unable to find the goal and had to share the points against the universitarios, now they will face Monterrey in what promises to be the best match of this weekend, a match where if they win, the light blue team could return to the top four teams of the Clausura 2024, They are currently in 5th place with 23 points and a record of 7 wins, 2 ties and 4 losses, if they win this Saturday at the Estadio Azul they could move up to third place, so it is essential for them to come out with a better approach and seek the 3 points, this is how La Maquina arrives at match day 14 in what would be the final stretch of the regular season, seeking to close in the best way and get to the big party of Mexican soccer.
