ZACATECAS, Mexico (Interstat) — Min de Zacatecas will host Tepatitlan on Thursday, April 30, in a Liga de Expansión MX matchup at Estadio Carlos Vega Villalba. The game is set to kick off at 8 p.m. local time.

The teams met twice this season. Tepatitlan won 4-0 at home on March 8, and the sides played to a 3-3 draw in Zacatecas on Sept. 26, 2025. Tepatitlan has won two of the past three meetings overall.

Tepatitlan enters on a three-match unbeaten run in league play, but dropped its most recent outing 2-0 at Atlante on April 23. Before that, the visitors beat Venados FC 4-1 on April 19 and drew 1-1 at CA La Paz on April 10. Over their last 10 games, Tepatitlan has gone 6-2-2, including a 2-1 victory over Alebrijes de Oaxaca on April 3 and a 3-2 loss at Morelia on March 14. The team has scored in eight of its last nine contests.

Min de Zacatecas comes in off a strong 3-0 home win over Morelia on April 22, snapping a two-game winless streak that included a 0-0 draw at Irapuato on April 18 and a 3-1 loss at Atlante on April 4. The home side has been solid defensively of late, posting three shutouts in its last five matches. Over a recent 10-game stretch, Min de Zacatecas has gone 6-2-2, with wins over Correcaminos UAT (3-1 on April 12), Tapatio (2-1 on March 29) and Venados FC (2-1 on March 27). The team has scored two or more goals in five of those 10 contests.

Both clubs sit in the middle of the Liga de Expansión MX standings, with postseason positioning still in play. Tepatitlan’s attack has been potent this season, averaging nearly 2.0 goals per game over the past month. Min de Zacatecas has relied on a balanced approach, with no single player dominating the scoring charts.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the teams’ recent form and defensive capabilities. The prediction also accounts for Tepatitlan’s road struggles — the visitors are 3-4-2 away from home this season — while Min de Zacatecas has been strong at home, losing only once in its last six matches at Estadio Carlos Vega Villalba.

Thursday’s contest will be the third and final regular-season meeting between the two sides. Both are expected to field full-strength lineups, with no major injuries reported.
