The Liga MX matchday 7 will close in Torreon, where a much-needed Santos will host a Monterrey team that needs to win to stay in the top places.
It has been a bad tournament for the Comarca Lagunera, but they have been improving in recent games and have already won their first match.
On the other hand, Rayados suffered a loss at home to Toluca and is showing weakness against their potential rivals in the fight for the title.

Why Bet on Santos Laguna?
The Clausura tournament was bad for Santos as they failed to qualify for the next phase, and this one seems to be going the same way. With five points, they are in 15th place, although the positive thing is that they have recently won their first game of the tournament and are undefeated in two matches.
Their rival was Necaxa in a great comeback. They were down 0-2 after 75 minutes but goals from Franco Fagúndez, Santiago Muñoz, and Tahiel Jiménez, the latter at 90+8 minutes, turned the score around and gave the team its first joy. They had previously drawn with León (1-1), making it four points out of six.
Against Necaxa, it was the first time in the tournament that they scored more than one goal, and they are no longer the club that has scored the fewest goals in the Apertura 2024, a record that now belongs to Pachuca. Their defense has conceded the third most goals (12) and was breached every game.
At home, they have one win, one draw, and one defeat, but that loss was to the other team from Monterrey, Tigres, and by a resounding 0-3.
Why Bet on Monterrey?
Monterrey was set up in this tournament to be champion, and although it is at the top of the table, it has not been able to beat the strongest teams and the ones it is likely to play against in the next phase.
In their last game, they lost 1-2 at home versus Toluca, their second defeat in the tournament, and the previous one was also at home against Cruz Azul by a heavy score of 0-4. They have two games without a win, as before the Diablos Rojos, they drew with Tijuana (2-2), another team above them in the table.
With 13 points, they are in fifth position, and despite having players such as Brandon Vázquez, Germán Berterame, Sergio Canales, Óliver Torres, or Jesús Corona, they have only scored nine goals and conceded ten. To these names, in the last few days, they have added the Argentinean Lucas Ocampos, who arrives from Sevilla.
One thing that Rayados have going for them is that they are the best away team in the tournament, winning three matches and drawing one, the aforementioned match against Xolos. They have previously beaten Puebla, Necaxa, and Pachuca.
Berterame is the team’s top scorer after scoring in three consecutive games, but his streak was broken against Toluca.
