Why bet on Monterrey?
Rayados de Monterrey’s inconsistent performance in the regular season resulted in their drop to fifth in the standings, which means they must now concentrate on concluding their away series.
Despite this, the team coached by Martin Demichelis has shown flashes of its potential, notably exhibited in its dominant victories over Léon and Atlas, where they scored several goals.
These victories serve as a strong indicator of the team’s ability to rise to the occasion and deliver impactful performances when it matters most, instilling hope and confidence among the club’s fans and stakeholders.
Monterrey must get off on the right foot in this Liguilla, otherwise they could easily succumb at the Estadio Universitario.
Why bet on Pumas?
In a surprising turn of events, Pumas UNAM has exceeded all expectations with their modest squad, consolidating their position in fourth place in the standings.
Their resilience is further highlighted by their impressive record of just one loss in their last ten games, a defeat that came at the hands of Cruz Azul in a match in which they put up a strong fight. This remarkable feat serves as a testament to the ability and determination of Gustavo Lima’s team, sending a clear message that they should not be overlooked or underestimated in the current situation.
Pumas closed the regular season with victories over Querétaro (2-0) and Mazatlán (1-0), so they arrive with great confidence for what will be the start of the Liguilla for them.
