Why Bet on Tigres?
Tigres are the current runners-up in Liga MX and want to get rid of the thorn in their side after what happened with América in the final. To achieve that, they must overcome the first phase of the tournament without any problems.
At least on the first matchday, they started well, beating a complex opponent such as León 2-1, thanks to goals from Sergio Córdova and the never-ending André-Pierre Gignac, who usually scores against Chivas. The French striker has scored 13 goals against the ‘Rebaño.’ There is only one team that has suffered more, and that is Pumas (17).
There is a fact to bear in mind, the Monterrey team has only three wins in the last seven matches they have played, and at home, they have only won in one of five games. Robert Dante Siboldi needs to find that strength in his team again.
To find that good side, the club signed Juan Brunetta, the best assisting player of the last semester. In his debut, he already put in a pass to score.
The absentees are goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán and winger Luis Quiñones, suspended.
Why Bet on Chivas?
Chivas are on a mission to be champions this year, and the main reason is that they lost their first place as Mexico’s most successful club to arch-rivals Club América. The pressure is latent for Fernando Gago’s new coaching staff.
However, the Argentine coach’s era did not start on the right foot, as they drew 1-1 with Santos Laguna. The ‘Rebaño’ started losing with a goal by Harold Preciado, but at 90+9,’ Erik Gutiérrez appeared with a header to secure a point.
The Guadalajara team needs more firepower if it wants to aspire to the top, which is why the board is looking to fulfill the dream of signing striker Javier ‘El Chicharito’ Hernández, who is living the last years of his career in the MLS with LA Galaxy.
So far, defender José Castillo and American striker Cade Cowell have reinforced the team, but any of them played in the first game. On the other hand, there are more departures, such as Hiram Mier, Christian Calderón, Alejandro Mayorga, Ángel Zaldívar, and Santiago Ormeño.
Defender and midfielder Carlos Cisneros is still unavailable due to a serious injury, while winger Isaac Brizuela is also out.
Final Betting Analysis: Tigres vs. Chivas
The last three matches between these two teams ended without defeat for Tigres, who won one and drew two. Precisely, in the first half of last year, they faced each other in the final, and the two games ended in a draw for the regular time, but the ‘Felinos’ scored in extra time to win the title in Guadalajara.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Tigres as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 1.91, while Chivas has 4.22, and the draw is at 3.30.
This is a very attractive match for soccer lovers in Mexico because these are two teams with history and a good present. However, the three points will be in the hands of the local team after a 1-0 victory.
Go for a win for Tigres. If you bet $100 at 1.91, you will gain $91 for a total payout of $191.
