— Rayados (@Rayados) March 12, 2022

Mazatlán is in second to last place with only seven points, one more than last place América, although they still have a pending game against Pumas that was not played last week.

Furthermore, everything seems to indicate that Gabriel Caballero will be the new coach of the Cañoneros.

Monterrey is currently in 12th place with nine points and could move up to eighth place with a win and a combination of results. Monterrey is coming off a 2-1 win over América and still has two games pending due to its participation in the Club World Cup.

The Rayados de Monterrey will have their second consecutive home game and are looking to take advantage of it when they take on the Cañoneros de Mazatlán at home. We begin our coverage of the Liga MX game on VAVEL.

Only on three occasions have these two clubs met, with the Cañoneros, so far, unable to beat the Monterrey side:

Mazatlan FC 1-1 Rayados Monterrey, Apertura 2021.

Rayados Monterrey 1-0 Mazatlan FC, Clausura 2021

Mazatlan FC 1-2 Rayados Monterrey, Apertura 2020

Although the club has not been doing very well, Nicolas Benedetti seems to be having his second wind with the Cañoneros, where he has contributed with some goals and his good technique and unbalanced play has caused some headaches for rival defenses.

Costa Rican Joel Campbell did not have many minutes under "Vasco", but last Saturday he returned to the starting lineup with "Rey Midas" and changed the face of the offense, especially due to his speed on the flanks, which is where he generates a lot of damage.

27 Nicolás Vikonis, 2 Ygor Noguiera, 5 Carlos Vargas, 3 Néstor Vidrio, 4 Nicolás Diaz, 35 Jefferson Intriago, 10 Nicolas Benedetti, 7 Iván Moreno, 28 Jorge Padilla, 25 Miguel Sansores, 9 Gonzalo Sosa.

1 Esteban Andrada, 20 Sebastián Vegas, 3 César Montes, 14 Érick Aguirre, 33 Stefan Medina, 8 Joel Campbell, 16 Celso Ortiz, 4 Luís Romo, 7 Rogelio Funes Mori, 30 Rodolfo Pizarro, 11 Maximiliano Meza.

Following the dismissal of Beñat San José, Christian Ramírez has taken over as interim coach and will seek to change the team's face, where their main ailment has been the defensive sector, as well as to rescue points away from home, since they have lost all of them away from the Kraken; their last game was a couple of weeks ago when they tied at home and without goals against the Rayos del Necaxa.

After Víctor Manuel Vucetich's debut was on the right foot with a 2-1 win over the Águilas del América, the Rayados de Monterrey team is now focused on getting good results to climb up the standings and get into the top eight, remembering that this will be their second home game in a row.

The Monterrey vs Mazatlan match will be played at the BBVA Stadium, in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:06 pm ET.
