Why Bet on América?
Club América has proven to be a powerful team in the Liga MX Femenil, although, in the round-robin, they had some complications that did not allow them to finish first or second. But this mattered little, as in the semifinals the Crema showed its best side and eliminated the big favorite, Tigres.
Their star player was U.S. striker Sarah Jacquelyn Luebbert, who scored a brace in the first leg. She reached the Liguilla with six goals but is already in the 10-goal range. She will not be the Golden Boot, but her level has undoubtedly grown at the ideal moment.
To reach this stage, América not only defeated Tigres but also took out its eternal sporting rival, Chivas de Guadalajara, 6-1 on aggregate.
In total, playing at home, Club América has had a remarkable performance with nine wins and only two losses. It has never drawn at the Azteca stadium.
Why Bet on Monterrey?
Monterrey is a team that has invested heavily to become champion in Mexico, and now only has one last hurdle to overcome to become champion again, something that has not happened since 2021, when it beat Tigres in the final. The qualification to the final came after an uncontested victory against Pachuca, as the aggregate score was 6-2. They won 2-0 in the first leg and 2-4 in the second. And it is worth noting that they did not get just anyone out of the way, as the Tuzas had been second in the round robin.
The undisputed star of Monterrey was Christina Burkenroad, who scored a hat-trick in the second leg. South African Jermaine Seoposenwe is still expected to step up and show her best in these last two games.
The Rayadas have won all their games in the Liguilla, scoring nine goals and conceding just two. Also, they had seven victories away from home during the semester.
Final Betting Analysis: América vs. Monterrey
This semester, the antecedent was concise for América, since they won with a resounding 4-0. Kiana Palacios (2), Sarah Jacquelyn Luebbert, and Katty Martínez scored the goals on February 2.
In total, these clubs have met on six occasions at the Azteca stadium, and what is striking is that four times the away team has won, and there has been only one draw.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Club América as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 1.72, Monterrey has 3.85, and the draw is at 3.92.
América has already demonstrated in the most important test it has had this semester that it is very strong at home. That is why the victory will go to the Águilas, but the series will remain open for the second leg after a 2-1.
Go for a win for América. If you bet $100 at 1.72, you will gain $72 for a total payout of $172.
