Mauro Gerk and his team are running short on time to try to salvage a campaign which has been disastrous for a while, winning just two matches combined in the Apertura and Clausura portion of this competition.
They may not be in the best predicament at the moment, but Los Albiazules have not gone down without a fight, picking up points in four of their last five domestic affairs, including an 87th-minute penalty to draw Juarez.
On the other hand, they could have done themselves a world of good had they held onto a couple of leads, squandering four points from winning positions since January. Six of their nine points banked in the Clausura this season have come on home soil, which is also where their only two victories domestically this season have taken place.
Queretaro have lost their last four Liga MX encounters versus Cruz Azul but have won two of the previous three meetings against them at home. The Claurusa campaign has been littered with inconsistencies from one match to the next for Cruz Azul, who currently find themselves nine points back of a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL).
Ricardo Ferretti has seen two very different-looking sides this season, one that have captured four straight wins at home, with the other losing three of their last four away fixtures, while conceding eight goals.

Querétaro vs Cruz Azul Prediction
We say: Queretaro 0-2 Cruz Azul
Cruz Azul seem to have gained some momentum from their string of home victories, as well as tightening up defensively, and given that they are facing the lowest-scoring team in the league, we do not anticipate them to be challenged much against the Queretaro attack.
