Why bet on Tijuana?
Tijuana has been one of the biggest surprises of the Apertura 2024. With 25 points, they sit in fifth place after seven wins, four draws, and three losses, two points ahead of Atlético San Luis, who is in seventh. Monterrey is in fourth with the same 25 units but has played one more match.
Juan Carlos Osorio’s team comes into the game with a five-match unbeaten streak, winning the first three and drawing the last two, most recently a scoreless tie against Atlas. Xolos’ greatest strength has been their home field at the Caliente Stadium, where they remain unbeaten with five wins and two draws, both 2-2 ties versus América and Monterrey.
In terms of scoring, they haven’t had a standout name, as their top scorer is Christian Rivera, with five goals, four of which were penalties.
Why bet on Tigres?
Tigres is very close to securing their direct spot in the Liguilla, and a win this Friday would guarantee their qualification with two games left to play. With 27 points, they sit in third place after eight wins, three draws, and three losses.
The Felino team returned to winning form after two consecutive losses, defeating Pachuca 2-1 with goals from Juan Brunetta and Ozziel Herrera. However, the club has faced three defeats in its last four away matches.
One area for improvement for the Monterrey side is their offense. They have only scored 19 goals, the second-lowest among the top nine teams on the table. André-Pierre Gignac has scored six of those, Ozziel Herrera has four, and the rest have scored two or fewer goals each.
For this game, coach Veljko Paunovic will be without his two fullbacks, Javier Aquino and Jesús Angulo, both suspended. Jesús Garza and Osvaldo RodrÃguez are likely to be their replacements.
Final Betting Analysis: Tijuana vs. Tigres
The last time they met was on April 27 this year, with Tigres winning 4-1. However, the last time they played at the Mictlán, Tijuana won 2-0, breaking a 15-game winless streak against Tigres and an 11-game winless streak at home.
The odds at Gambyl Exchange have Tigres as the favorite with a Moneyline of 1.91, while Tijuana stands at 3.6, and a draw at 3.75.
It will be an interesting matchup between two teams in the top five, both likely to make the playoffs and potentially face each other again. It should be a close game, but considering Tijuana’s strong performance at home and Tigres’ struggles away, we think the Xolos will take the win. Go for a 2-1.
Go for a win for Tijuana. If you bet $100 at 3.6, you will gain $260 for a total payout of $360.
