Why Bet on Monterrey?
Monterrey is one of the favorites to be a finalist in Liga MX due to their squad and the level they have shown. However, they are going through a complicated stretch of the season. On the last matchday, the Rayados lost 2-1 to Cruz Azul, with Uriel Antuna being their nightmare, as he scored two goals.
With this little bad streak, Monterrey fell to third place with 28 points, one point behind the leaders, who are Toluca and América. Bearing in mind that the Águilas and the Diablos are facing each other, a win against Tigres would be an opportunity to retake the lead or at least move up one position. On the other hand, they are motivated after eliminating Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in the Champions Cup, winning 3-1 in Mexico and 5-2 on aggregate.
Rayados is the third team with the most effective attack, having 24 goals. Brandon Vásquez and Sergio Canales are their best scorers with five. Monterrey is also a good home team, scoring 17 of 24 points.
The only injury casualty is experienced defender Stefan Medina, while Gerardo Arteaga and Jorge Rodríguez will be available after serving their suspensions.
Why Bet on Tigres?
Tigres are the current finalists in the Liga MX, but this semester, the performance of the team coached by Robert Dante Siboldi has not been the best, as shown by their position. They have just lost 3-0 at home to Pachuca, with goals from Salomón Rondón, Nelson Deossa, and Jesús Hernández.
The Felinos are in seventh place with 24 points. That is to say, they would be in the Play-In right now, something unthinkable for a team called to fight for the highest positions in Mexican soccer. The 17 goals conceded make it clear that the defense is not in a great moment, but curiously, they are the third visitor with the most points, with 13 in eight games.
Another point to note is that this team has just been eliminated from the Concacaf Champions Cup against Columbus Crew, an unexpected situation. They tied 2-2 on aggregate and lost on penalties. In any case, Juan Brunetta, Nicolás Ibáñez, and Sebastián Córdova are the best scorers in the league with four goals.
Notably, Monterrey is André-Pierre Gignac’s fifth favorite victim, scoring on 12 occasions.
The only doubt for the university team is Ibañez due to a muscle contracture.
