Down to the last stretch of the Apertura MX the teams at the top six are trying to keep their spots secured so they can have a little rest at the start of the Liguilla. Meanwhile, the ones from seventh to tenth are looking to improve their position for the same reason.
Referring to this match, Monterrey is looking to keep themselves up, and they will be facing one of the teams they require to halt in order to secure their spot, Atlas. For the Foxes, this is their last chance to assault the top six, and a victory would also secure their qualification to the postseason. It is a win-or-die situation for both teams.

Why bet on Monterrey?
The locals have seven wins, four draws, and four losses, being at the fourth spot but with only a two-point advantage over the seventh.
In their last match, Rayados lost with América away by (2‑1). Previously they tied (0‑0) at home with Pumas UNAM, so that’s two games without a win after their great victory at the Derby Regiomontano. Their qualification to the postseason is almost a deal, but they are nowhere near safety in the top six.
Curiously, they have done better away from home than as locals, getting 14 points as visitors and only 11 at the BBVA Stadium. This data made losing against the Eagles at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium even more daunting.
Why bet on Atlas?
Atlas comes at 10th place, and they keep racking points with draws lately. However, they have not secured their top ten spot yet, with their five wins, five draws, and four losses record. The team also has a measly chance of reaching the top six if they win their three remaining matches and some other results occur, so they should try.
In the penultimate match, the Foxes tied away against León (0-0), a not-so-good result considering the Esmeraldas are the only team capable of taking them out. However, they later tied with Tijuana, one of the best teams in this Apertura MX, by the same result. That is much better, but two consecutive 0-0 are not what the fans expect to see.
This is a stronger team at home, where they won 12 points against only eight in their away games.
Atlas knows it cannot afford to falter as it approaches the final part of this first phase. The team is on an important unbeaten streak but will need to secure, at least, one more win to finally relax.
Final Betting Analysis: Monterrey vs. Atlas
MartÃn Demichelis knows that his players have enough capacity to be one of the protagonists in the Liga MX.
If Atlas has aspirations to be a protagonist in the final phase, they will have to strengthen, above all, the attack, as their 15 goals in favor are the worst in the top 13. Their 17 goals against are average for a lower-midtable team, so it’s not a matter of worry. In fact, they have a better defense than Monterrey (18). However, there is another thing to take into consideration before thinking about a draw.
In the last 45 matches, there has been total dominance by Rayados, with 24 wins. Meanwhile, Atlas has only 11 triumphs, while 10 games ended in a tie.
We believe the locals will come strong again with a 1-0 triumph.
Go for a victory for Rayados at 1.61. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $61 for a total payout of $161.
