Tijuana vs. Atlético San Luis Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on Tijuana?

At the start of the season, Tijuana sit in third place and are one of four unbeaten teams after recording one win and one draw, scoring two goals and conceding one.

They opened with a scoreless draw at home against América, but then picked up points as visitors by defeating Querétaro 1–2, with goals from Unai Bilbao and Kevin Castañeda, while the only goal they conceded came from a penalty in the 90th minute.

Xolos, coached by Sebastián Abreu since last year, are playing good football. For example, against the ‘Gallos Blancos’, they were without their star, 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, who was dealing with a knock. Even so, they still managed to win.

Regarding Mora, the coach said it was simply a precaution, but it remains to be seen whether he will be playing this weekend.

Among the notable signings, Ignacio Rivero started and played the entire match, while Venezuelan striker Josef Martínez stayed on the bench after playing 14 minutes against the ‘Águilas’.

Why Bet on Atlético San Luis?

As for Atlético San Luis, they sit fifth in the standings with three points after losing their opener at home to Tigres (1–2) and then pulling off an upset by defeating América 0–2 at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

With goals from Juan Manuel Sanabria and João Pedro Galvão, the ‘Rojiblancos’ got the better of a side that played with 10 men from the 20th minute onward. As for the Italo-Brazilian’s goal, it came from a brilliant individual move he created for himself inside the box. He had already scored on Matchday 1, making him one of the tournament’s top scorers.

Regarding Galvão, it is worth remembering that in the previous tournament he scored 12 goals in 17 matches, finishing second in the scoring charts behind Paulinho, who had 15 but also played the six playoff matches, scoring three times in that stage—something the San Luis striker could not do as his team failed to advance to the next round.

Among the new faces, the standout so far has been defender Benjamín Galindo, who has played every minute and shown great solidity at the back.

Final Betting Analysis: Tijuana vs. Atlético San Luis

It is an evenly matched duel between two teams that are not listed among the favorites, but that will surely battle for a spot in the playoffs, and we believe will frustrate more than one contender, as both have already done against América.

The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Tijuana, with a moneyline of -114, while San Luis is listed at +285, and the draw is priced at +254.

The last time they faced each other was on September 14 of last year, and the match ended 1–1.When playing at home, Xolos are on a three-match winning streak and are unbeaten in their previous four games.

Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at +254, you will gain $254 for a total payout of $354.
