San Luis vs. Monterrey: Liguilla MX Semifinals Preview

Estadio Alfonso Lastras San Luis

Things were more interesting than we would have expected in the quarterfinals of the Liguilla MX, hyping up the semis.

Right now, we are looking at the first leg match, which San Luis will host, looking comfortable after taking out Tigres in the earlier stage without going through trouble. Now, they have to pull out anything they held back in the last clash to hold Monterrey.

Rayados seemed to look like they would have a bad time against Pumas when they first faced, but managed to get the win in the first leg. The second was surprising as they took three goals, but they managed to beat their opponents back, scoring five and securing the path to this match.

San Luis has not had to deal with many hardships, but we have to wonder if they will have what it takes to dispose of both Regiomontanos’ teams in a single postseason.

Why bet on San Luis?

San Luis had a pretty chill time in order to reach this stage, as the Tuneros left Tigres on the road 0-3 overall. At the Alfonso Lastras, the pupils of the Spanish Domènec Torrent took a significant 3-0 lead thanks to an own goal from the Brazilian Joaquim Pereira and goals from the Brazilians Léo Bonatini and Vitinho Ferreira.

During the second match, they didn’t allow Tigres to not do any harm, and even goalkeeper Andrés Sánchez blocked a penalty against Frenchman André-Pierre Gignac.

Now, San Luis is going to receive a tough opponent, and they need to make the most out of this home match and hit hard because Monterrey has been looking great in the Liguilla.

Why bet on Monterrey?

For the first leg at the BBVA Stadium, Monterrey took the slightest advantage thanks to Spanish captain Sergio Canales, who converted a controversial penalty.

Once they went to Ciudad Universitaria, they suffered blows from Memo Martínez, on two occasions, and the Argentine Ignacio Pussetto, but a double from the Argentine Germán Berterame, plus goals from Lucas Ocampos, Gerardo Arteaga, and the Spanish Óliver Torres, gave them the ticket to the pupils of Argentine Martín Demichelis.

Monterrey didn’t go to its opponents’ field to play, it came to break them, and we think it may have the same intentions in this clash.

Final Betting Analysis: San Luis vs. Monterrey

These teams faced 38 times since San Luis reached the first division, with the Potosinos having 13 wins, contrary to 15 for Monterrey and 10 draws. The numbers are surprisingly balanced comparing the size of both teams.

Surprisingly, in the last five matches, we also found a slight advantage for San Luis with two wins, while there was a triumph for Monterrey and two draws.

We expect San Luis to keep their momentum from the quarterfinals, also considering that the Regiomontanos are poor visitors.

We’ll go for a 2-1.

Go for a victory for the locals at 3. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $200 for a total payout of $300.
