Things are getting exciting as the Liga MX regular season continues to go forward, now that we are hitting the 8th matchday out of 17 in this season.
With the results achieved in the last few weeks, some of the top teams are feeling good having almost twice as many points as the ones in the lower half of the board, which may allow them to be highly hopeful of locking spots in the playoffs quite early.
The scoreboard can change and things could turn around at any moment. So, we are currently taking a look right into the middle, as we get a clash between Monterrey and Leon.
‘Rayados’ are trying to pick up the pace, as they were unable to get the hot start they had in the last season, but they are still in the fight. ‘Los Esmeraldas’ have also managed to keep themselves near, but they need to get their stuff together and start racking up the points if they do not want to be left behind.
When:
Saturday, September 16 – 07:00 pm ET at the BBVA Stadium
Moneyline odds:
Monterrey -119
León +310
Draw offs:
+275
Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Monterrey?
Rayados (in 10th place at the moment) turned the game against Chivas Guadalajara around on the 4th of September by scoring a lovely brace. Monterrey took the basket full of points to Estadio BBVA where they’ll have to deal with Nicolas Larcamon’s Club León this week.
When you know how good Rayados are at Estadio BBVA, you know that Monterrey is probably going to be having a good time in their next match.
Why Bet on León?
Club León’s season has been quite mercurial. The club has played seven games, out of which they have won two, drawn two, and lost three. They won the Concacaf Champions League this year but could not replicate the feat in the Leagues Cup, getting out in the first knockout round.
Coach Nicolas Larcamon opted for a friendly during the pause for the international games. However, even the friendly game against Guadalajara didn’t go his way, as ‘La Fiera’ got piped 2-0 by the ‘Rebaño’.
If the team maintains this steady course of losing, surely, things are not going to be looking good either on their next clash, or the ones coming forth afterwards.
Final Betting Analysis: Monterrey vs. León
CF Monterrey will have one eye on the game against Club Leon and the other will be on the preparations for the Clasico Regiomontano against Tigres UANL, in the final week of this month. That is when a lot more than three points will be at stake.
The hosts were happy to gain some respite last weekend with a win against Chivas Guadalajara. However, now the primary objective will be to get another win to build winning momentum before the high-octane derby.
We believe that Rayados will not have any issue taking the win at their home field this weekend.
If you put $100 into Monterrey’s win, you could get $84 for a total payout of $184.
