Why Bet on Tijuana?
5th in the table, the Xolos are looking to improve on their three wins, one draw, and one loss run, and hope to rely on their fan base to emerge victorious in their next challenge.
Xolos de Tijuana had started the tournament very well under the command of Professor Osorio. However, after Cruz Azul beat them 3-0, everything seemed destined to fall apart. Kevin Castañeda spoke in front of the cameras, asking his fans for a little trust, but their tie with San Luis wasn’t a good omen.
Notwithstanding, they have already recovered momentum in their already-mentioned victory against a Comarca Lagunera in disgrace, so they’ll want to remain on the good track.
Why Bet on Monterrey?
Currently, at the top, Rayados wants to remain there but has a difficult task. With four teams tied with ten points just behind, and having played one game more, it doesn’t depend entirely on them. However, their only obligation is to keep winning.
Against Xolos de Tijuana, they will celebrate the debut of their new DT, Martín Demichelis, who, various sources assure, would already have his sights on some signings before the records close.
The Regiomontanos will begin a transition period, so we are yet to see how well they fare in this first match. They share with their rivals that their only defeat in this tournament was against Cruz Azul.
