This weekend the Mexican league brings us a great game for date 10 when Chivas hosts Monterrey in a duel between two teams that always try to compete for titles.
The Rebaño lost last weekend and are fighting to stay in the group of clubs that go directly to the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Monterrey was surprised and drew with Mazatlán, and although they remain at the top of the table, their level is not as expected.

Why bet on Chivas?
Fernando Gago’s Chivas has not been able to get into gear. With 14 points, they are in sixth place, tied with the three teams below them, and for the moment, they have the last direct place in the playoffs only on goal difference.
It has not been a good tournament for the Guadalajara team, which had hoped to at least be above Pumas, who have 16 points. They have just lost 1-0 to Cruz Azul.
However, at home, the situation has been different. They drew their first match against Toluca (0-0) and then beat Mazatlán (2-0), Juárez (5-0) and León (2-0). They have scored nine goals and conceded none at the Akron stadium. In addition, they have allowed only seven goals, the third-best record in the tournament.
Three players on the team have three goals: Armando González, Roberto Alvarado, and Cade Cowell. However, the American has been injured for several weeks and his return is still some time away. Defender Gilberto Sepúlveda could play after recovering from his injury.
Why bet on Monterrey?
Much more was expected from Monterrey. In addition to having a great squad, they had reinforced with Óliver Torres, but the Spanish midfielder has not yet shone as expected. On the other hand, the Argentinean Lucas Ocampos arrived a couple of weeks ago and had a great debut, but then he did not have a great performance.
Although they are third with 20 points, the team’s level has not been the best, conceding 12 goals in 10 games. They are coming from a goalless draw with Mazatlán, but they played since the sixth minute with a man down due to Sebastián Vegas’ red card. This is the second consecutive game in which they have had a player sent off.
They are undefeated in three games and got seven points. Curiously, the only two games they have lost in this tournament have been at home. Playing as visitors they have the best average with four wins and one draw.
Vegas and Germán Berterame, one of the top scorers in the Liga MX (5), will be absent for this game due to suspension, while Stefan Medina is injured. Also, Sergio Canales is with some health problems but is expected to arrive for the game.
Final Betting Analysis: Chivas vs. Monterrey
The last time they played was on March 30 of this year and Chivas won as visitors by 0-2 in a game in which Monterrey received two red cards. The last three times they have played each other, the visitors have always won and they have five matches without a draw.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Chivas as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 2.49, Monterrey has 2.72, and the draw is at 3.32.
It will be an even match between two teams that want to fight for the title and are not going through their best moment. Both will be without their goal scorers and are undefeated playing each one in their condition (home and away) and we believe it will stay that way and they will be tied. Go for a 1-1.
Go for a draw. If you bet $100 at 3.32, you will gain $232 for a total payout of $332.
