Monterrey Preview
It seems that having started the Clausura 2023 with a loss was beneficial for Monterrey, because after the 0-1 loss to Guadalajara, the team now has three wins in a row against Cruz Azul, Atlético de San Luis and Puebla.
The team has corrected its offensive mistakes, and the only game it lost was the only one in which the team did not score goals. However, something that Víctor Manuel Vucetich’s team still needs to work on is its defense, as it has allowed goals in each of its four matches played.
This will be its third home match in this tournament, and although it has only won one of its previous two clashes, it is worth taking a look at its overall numbers as the team has only lost two of its last 10 home matches in all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Esteban Andrada; Jesús Gallardo, Héctor Moreno, Victor Guzmán, Stefan Medina; Arturo González, Celso Ortiz, Luis Romo, Germán Berterame; Rodrigo Aguirre, Rogelio Funes Mori
Toluca Preview
Toluca is one of the four teams that have yet to lose in this Clausura 2023, and it will be looking to continue this positive streak, which includes four matches against one of the league’s strongest rivals. The Diablos Rojos team has one win and three draws, and it comes into this match after achieving two draws in a row. The highlight is that in those two draws, the team managed to keep a clean sheet, which means that it has accumulated 237 minutes without conceding a goal.
The team coached by Ignacio Ambriz has been fortunate in its away matches, as the only victory it has so far has come in that condition. Toluca is also one of the the three teams to have allowed only one away goal.
Probable lineup (4-4-1-1): Tiago Volpi; Brayan Angulo, Valber Huerta, Andres Mosquera, Brian Garcia; Jean Meneses, Marcel Ruiz, Claudio Baeza, Maximiliano Araujo; Leonardo Fernandez; Carlos Gonzalez
JefeBet Prediction
The BBVA Stadium has been a complicated scenario for Toluca, as since 2016 these teams have faced each other at this venue on seven occasions and the Diablos Rojos have only managed to attain one victory. Monterrey has won all five of its most recent home games against this rival, and given the current shape of both teams, the record should still be in the Rayados’ favor.
Prediction: Monterrey wins by a score of 2-1.
