Tepa's tough to get through
CD Tepatitlán de Morelos have been rock solid at home across all competitions, undefeated in 5 with 4 wins and 1 draw, and they've conceded only 2 goals here. Fernando Perez has done a great job keeping the side well-drilled since taking over in March 2024, keeping the backline tight and then releasing Wiliam Guzman, who has been the spark in the last 5 matches, scoring 3 of their 5 goals. Durango arrive in slightly better form than their hosts, although that's across all competitions, as they've been solid all round, recording 6 wins, 3 draws and just 1 defeat in their last 10. Alacranes' away form is less convincing though, with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 3, although Hector Real's side has been a different beast since he switched to a direct 4-4-2 in January 2026. Real's men use vertical balls and second-ball pressure to turn games into scraps, where they can be a handful. For this CD Tepatitlan de Morelos vs Alacranes De Durango preview, the contrast in styles could make for a fascinating contest.
