Why Bet on Monterrey?
Monterrey has left no room for doubt. So far, they are the best team in Mexican soccer, three points ahead of the current champion, América.
The last presentation of Rayados ended with a 2-1 victory over Atlas, thanks to goals by the Argentine Maxi Meza and Jesús Gallardo, who is one of the club’s stars. However, if there is one star to highlight for Monterrey, it’s Spanish midfielder Sergio Canales. He has shown his best side since he arrived in Mexico.
The midfielder has five goals and two assists. The other player with a good goal-scoring quota is the American Brando Vásquez, who also has five goals.
Of the 28 points the Argentine coach Fernando Ortiz’s team has earned, 17 have come at home, making it the second most effective team in this regard. They have five wins and two draws at their stadium.
Monterrey already has the players who were called by Mexico and recovered Héctor Moreno and Víctor Guzmán from injury.
Why Bet on Chivas?
Chivas de Guadalajara is one of the biggest disappointments in Mexican soccer this season. They were eliminated early from the Concacaf Champions Cup, and in Liga MX, they are in tenth position, struggling to enter the Play-In.
There are many doubts about the work of Argentine coach Fernando Gago. Especially as the last time they drew 0-0 at home against their arch-rivals, Club América. Precisely, the Águilas have been a headache for the Rebaño since they were responsible for their elimination in the Concacaf international tournament.
Of the last six matches in the Clausura 2024, Chivas have only won one. They have tied twice and lost three times. The Guadalajara team has 16 points and has only scored 15 goals but the most worrying thing is that they have conceded the same amount. The current streak is three games without a win in the local league.
When evaluating away games, the club has won one game, drawn two, and lost three. What’s more, their last two outings have ended in defeats.
For Gago, this match is fundamental, and he does not know if he can count on Javier “El Chicharito” Hernández, who has a sprained ankle and is on the waiting list.
Final Betting Analysis: Monterrey vs. Chivas
The last time these clubs played each other was last year, and the victory was 1-2 for Monterrey at Chivas’ home, while at Rayados’ stadium, it was Guadalajara who won last time (0-1). In three of the previous four games between them, it was the visitors who won.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Monterrey as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 1.67, while Chivas has 4.83, and the draw is at 3.86.
Chivas are in crisis, and for their coach, the bad news is that they will continue to fall since the win at BBVA Stadium will end up going to Monterrey, who will continue as the best team in the regular phase. We’ll go for a 2-0.
Go for a win for Monterrey. If you bet $100 at 1.67, you will gain $67 for a total payout of $167.
