Irapuato vs Cancún: match statistics
Irapuato performs significantly better at their home ground, boasting a 50% win rate and an impressive average of 2.29 goals per match. The hosts have an advantage in possession (58% vs 39%) and a considerably higher shot conversion rate (16% vs 12%), which, combined with a higher number of shots (14.71 vs 9.67), gives them a real offensive edge.
