Update:

Monterrey’s Rayados currently sit third in the Apertura 2025 regular season standings with 26 points, positioning themselves as one of the top contenders. The club from the northern city of Monterrey is aiming for a direct berth into the Liga MX playoffs, but the path ahead is anything but easy.

Unlike some of their rivals, Monterrey faces a challenging end to the regular season that could jeopardize their spot among the league’s elite. This Saturday, they take on Pumas - a team desperate for points as they fight to secure a place in the play-in zone.
