Queretaro FC Recent Performance

Recent Form: WDLWL

Queretaro FC’s recent form has been a rollercoaster, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five matches. They secured an impressive 3-1 win against Puebla and a 2-0 victory over Pachuca, showcasing their potential to perform well. However, their consistency issues were highlighted in their crushing 0-4 defeat to Toluca and a 0-2 loss to Tigres.

On average, Queretaro FC have scored 1.4 goals per game over their last five fixtures. Defensively, they’ve managed just one clean sheet in the same period, underlining their defensive vulnerabilities.

With only 11 points from 14 games, Queretaro FC needs to tighten up at the back if they wish to climb out of the lower echelons of Liga MX.

Queretaro FC Key Players

Queretaro FC will rely heavily on their top scorer, Santiago Homenchenko, who has netted 4 goals this season. His capability to break down defenses will be crucial if Queretaro is to secure a positive result. Additionally, the midfield pairing of Rodrigo Bogarín and Eduardo Armenta, who controlled the game well against Puebla, will play key roles in dictating the pace of the match.

Expected lineup for Queretaro FC:

• Goalkeeper: Guillermo Allison
• Defenders: Omar Israel Mendoza, Diego Reyes, Santiago Homenchenko, Francisco Venegas
• Midfielders: Angel Zapata, Jhojan Julio, Rodrigo Bogarín, Eduardo Armenta, Lucas Rodriguez
• Forward: Mateo Coronel

Key battles to watch include Homenchenko against Guadalajara’s solid defensive trio of Campillo, Romo, and Castillo. This matchup could very well decide the game’s outcome, given Queretaro’s attacking reliance on Homenchenko.

Queretaro FC Suspensions & Injuries

Queretaro FC is facing a couple of injury concerns that could influence their performance against CD Guadalajara. Federico Lertora is dealing with a calf injury, making his return doubtful for this crucial encounter. Additionally, Aldahir Perez is out with a concussion, and his availability remains uncertain.

These absences could impact Queretaro’s defensive solidity, particularly given their recent struggles at the back. Lertora’s experience in midfield would be sorely missed, leaving a potential gap that Guadalajara might exploit.

There are no suspensions for Queretaro FC heading into this match, allowing coach Benjamin Mora to field his strongest possible lineup, barring the injury doubts. The team will need to adapt quickly and find a way to cope with these key absences to stand a chance against a formidable Guadalajara side.

Queretaro FC Tactics and Formation

Queretaro FC Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-1-4-1
• Key Forward: Mateo Coronel
• Midfield Lineup: Jhojan Julio, Rodrigo Bogarín, Eduardo Armenta, Lucas Rodriguez
• Defensive Line: Omar Israel Mendoza, Diego Reyes, Santiago Homenchenko, Francisco Venegas
• Average Goals Scored: 1.4 in the last five games

Benjamin Mora’s side will likely stick to a 4-1-4-1 formation, focusing on a balanced approach between defense and attack. The lone striker, Mateo Coronel, will be expected to lead the offense with the support of a dynamic midfield.

With Santiago Homenchenko chipping in 4 goals this season, his role will be pivotal both defensively and offensively. Queretaro tends to be most dangerous during the 31-45, 46-60, and 76-90-minute intervals, reflecting Mora’s strategy of concentrated offensive bursts. Given their defensive vulnerabilities, particularly after a recent 4-0 loss, tightening up at the back is crucial against a strong Guadalajara side.
