Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Tigres?
Tigres is the current Mexican soccer champion and has not shied away from the responsibility of fighting tooth and nail to defend its championship.
In their last match, they defeated Mazatlán 3-2 as visitors, after starting 1-0 down. The Regios’ goals came from winger Diego Lainez, Argentinean Nicolás Ibáñez, and striker Jonathan Herrera.
Given the decision to rest Frenchman André-Pierre Gignac in the starting lineup, forward Ibañez has had the chance to add minutes and deliver. He has contributed two goals in the last four games in 207 minutes.
However, Gignac is the team’s most important player, as his five goals and four assists confirm.
The Monterrey team has been an excellent home side, taking 13 points from five games. The only team that has taken a point from them at home is Puebla (1-1).
Coach Robert Siboldi has already recovered Jonathan Herrera, who was the only player he had with physical problems. He returned with a goal.
Why Bet on Toluca?
Toluca has been an irregular team in Liga MX, and as a result, has been oscillating between the first four places or in the ninth and even tenth positions.
The ‘Diablos’ are coming from a 1-1 draw with Guadalajara at the Nemesio Diez stadium. Édgar López scored the goal for Toluca, which remains eighth with 14 points.
However, they have been an average away team, winning just one game in four, drawing twice, and losing 2-1 to Xolos de Tijuana in their last outing. However, it is worth noting that they have been even-keeled, scoring only four away goals, but conceding three.
Overall, Ignacio Ambriz’s men are one of the best defenses in Liga MX, with only nine goals conceded.
Argentine midfielder Tomás Belmonte was red-carded two games ago for the red team so he will be back, but Juan Pablo Domínguez is a doubt for this match.
Final Betting Analysis: Tigres vs. Toluca
A tough match in Liga MX, as two historic teams will be facing each other at the Universitario Stadium. However, Tigres has proven to be a devastating team at home, winning four out of five matches, and considering that Toluca has been inconsistent on the road, the win should go to the home side.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have Tigres as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows -117, meanwhile Toluca has +333 and the draw is +245.
It should be noted that the last time Toluca faced Tigres, they won 3-1, with goals from Édgar López in duplicate and Marcel Ruiz.
Go for a straight win in the Moneyline Tigres. If you bet $100 at -117, you will gain $85 for a total payout of $185.
