Monterrey vs. América Preview and Free Picks

A great match is coming this Wednesday in the penultimate round of the Liga MX regular season, as a desperate Monterrey hosts an América side that isn’t going through its best moment.

Monterrey has faced heavy criticism lately and lost the derby against Tigres after leading 1-0 until the 90th minute.

Meanwhile, América drew 0-0 at home against Cruz Azul and is now very close to securing a playoff spot.

Monterrey vs. América Betting Odds and Info

Por que apostar em Monterrey?

Without a doubt, one of the biggest surprises of the tournament—though for the wrong reasons—has been Monterrey.With 22 points, they sit in ninth place after six wins, four draws, and five losses.

They are in ninth and have practically secured a spot in the play-in, as the team in 11th has 17 points with only six points left to play for. However, they are far from the positions they expected to be in the Liga MX.

They’re coming off an incredible loss in the derby against Tigres, falling 2-1 after leading thanks to a penalty from Sergio Ramos. Tigres scored in the 90th and 90+5 minutes when Monterrey was already down to nine men after Germán Berterame and Óliver Torres were sent off.

The atmosphere around Berterame and Martín Demichelis isn’t great. The striker is being heavily criticized for his silly red card for arguing, while the coach is under fire for poor results—being eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions Cup by Vancouver Whitecaps and currently sitting ninth in the league despite having one of the best squads.

To make matters worse, the team’s star, Sergio Canales, is injured after cutting himself when kicking a glass door during training—reportedly following an argument with Demichelis. It all shows just how tense things are within the team.

Por que apostar no América?

América is the reigning three-time champion of Mexican soccer, and at one point, it seemed like they had everything in place to win a fourth consecutive title—but now, that doesn’t seem so certain. With 31 points, they sit in second place after nine wins, four draws, and two losses, but they’ve stumbled in recent matches.

First, they lost 1-0 to Pachuca, then were eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions Cup by Cruz Azul, and this past weekend, they drew 0-0 with the ‘Máquina.’ Counting both tournaments, they’ve gone four matches without a win—three against Cruz Azul, with two 0-0 draws and a 2-1 loss.

Álvaro Fidalgo has had an outstanding tournament, but the club is missing Henry Martín and Rodrigo Aguirre, two of their top stars, who are currently injured.

However, the ‘Águilas’ have two key advantages heading into this clash: with just nine goals conceded, they boast the best defense in the tournament, and they are the best away team, with five wins, one draw, and only one loss on the road.

Análise Final das Apostas: Monterrey x América

We have a great matchup this Wednesday, with Monterrey under the most pressure to win, surrounded by a tense atmosphere that we believe will work against them.

The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor América, with a Moneyline of 2.54, while Monterrey sits at 2.6, and a draw is at 3.5.
