The Clausura 2024 Liga MX Tournament is in full swing. After a day full of action and excitement, the teams are not resting, and this weekend we will enjoy the second matchday of the championship.
Undoubtedly, all the teams have their sights set on preventing Club América from being crowned champions for the second consecutive tournament. However, to do so, they must demonstrate all their abilities at the start of the season to win as many points as possible.
Several teams can easily compete with América, like Monterrey, Tigres, León, and even San Luis, who had a good Apertura 2023 but fell by the wayside.
Now, on this second matchday of the Clausura 2024, we will have a great match between Santos Laguna and Rayados de Monterrey.

Why Bet on Santos?
Santos Laguna comes into the Clausura 2024 with the firm conviction of improving their performance in the Apertura 2023, where they lost in the defining match of the Play-in against León by 2-3. While there was a clean slate for this new tournament, the first game was disappointing.
After leading 1-0 from the 65th minute in the match against Chivas de Guadalajara, thanks to Harold Preciado’s goal, they couldn’t contain Chivas’ advances at the dying embers of the match and ended up equalizing 1-1. On top of everything else, Guadalajara scored the goal in the 90+9 minute, so the victory dramatically escaped through their fingers.
Now, the ‘Laguneros’ play their first home match in the Clausura MX 2024 and will try to show their best game to take three points and climb to the top of the standings.
Why Bet on Monterrey?
On the other hand, Monterrey is one of the favorites to win this Clausura 2024, as their great squad, a combination of young talents and experienced players, is ready to dethrone América.
‘Rayados’ started on the right foot at home against Puebla, as they managed to take a comfortable 2-0 victory. In this match, they dominated their rivals from start to finish, to the point that Puebla could only shoot three times on goal and generate nine dangerous chances.
Although this game against Santos is a more difficult test, there is no doubt that Monterrey has everything it needs to get another solid victory and stay at the top of the standings.
Final Betting Analysis: Santos vs. Monterrey
In the 20 previous matches between Santos and Monterrey, ‘Rayados’ slightly dominated the series with nine wins.’ Los Laguneros,’ on the other hand, accumulated seven wins, while four matches ended in a draw.
It is also worth mentioning that ‘Rayados’ beat Santos in the last two matches between them with scores of 3-0 and 2-0. However, these were at the BBVA Stadium, and the last match at the Corona Stadium ended in a 0-0 draw.
At Gambyl Betting Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Monterrey at 2.28, while Santos starts at 2.88.
Although, indeed, the tournament is just beginning, and both teams have not yet found the essential rhythm of play, we expect the visiting team to be able to hit the table and take the 3 points. That is why our prediction is a 1-0 victory for them.
Look for a win in Monterrey’s Moneyline. For example, if you put $100 on them at 2.28, you’ll see a $128.00 win with a total payout of $228.00.
