Ah, Mazatlán FC vs Monterrey, isn't it a joy? Remember the days when these teams would baffle us with the unpredictability of their matches? Yeah, me neither.
Anyway, let's get down to it. Historically, there seems to be a bit of a pattern, doesn't there? Mazatlán FC might as well start calling Monterrey their nemeses. Our friends from Monterrey sure do enjoy a win over them, just as a bear enjoys honey. Speaking of honey, Monterrey's attack sometimes sticks just the right way, remember March 11, 2024? Mazatlán FC surely does, they still have that 2-1 sticky loss etched in their minds.
Let's not forget the regular season, shall we? Now I'm no mathematician, but it seems like Monterrey has left more pitches with points in their pockets than Mazatlán FC. While Monterrey is floating like an occasional butterfly with a 3-3-2 record, it looks like Mazatlán FC is stinging like a bee that accidentally stung itself, struggling with 2-2-4.
Looking at their recent performances, Monterrey seems to have their sea legs, flopping to fewer belly reversals than Mazatlán, who seem a bit wobbly on their stilts, regardless of whether they're on home turf. And let's be frank, was there anything more painful than Mazatlán FC's self-goal against Santos Laguna on Feb 15, 2025? Their goalie might have been daydreaming about a beach vacation in Cancún there.
It's just an inkling, but I'd feel pretty confident saying that Mazatlán FC is probably feeling like they've been cornered and Monterrey is inching closer, a cat about to pounce on an unsuspecting mouse. So, my dear friends, prepare for another episode of David and Goliath, sans any stone flinging plot twist.
