Betting on Leon
Leon is on a three-game unbeaten streak. Nicolás Larcamón’s team has found its pace and improved its level of play, but they have not played against a team like the Rayados, who are uncontrollable.
Defensively, the Panzas Verdes (the green bellies in Spanish) have improved, and since the loss against Pumas (4-1), they have allowed only one goal in five games. They got back on track and are a team against which you have to fight hard to score or generate a goal.
The problem is that they do not generate as much offense, which is one of Larcamón’s pending tasks. They have only eight goals scored so far, and they usually score a lot, but few are on goal. If they improve in that department, they may be among the best in Liga MX.
Last game, they drew 0-0 against Juárez and the lack of offense was clearly noticeable, as only one of six shots was on target.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Rodolfo Cota; Jaine Barreiro, Adonis Frías, Paul Bellón; Ivan Moreno, Angel Mena, Lucas Romero, José Rodríguez, Osvaldo Rodríguez; Lucas Di Yorio, Víctor Dávila.
Betting on Monterrey
They have seven consecutive victories and are five behind Leon’s record (curiously, they could take away the opportunity) and Cruz Azul’s record of consecutive league victories. They look great, and the players’ performances are spectacular.
However, teams are already learning how to tackle Rayados. Last year, the modest Necaxa was on the verge of taking the bull by the horns and getting a draw at the Steel Giant, but in the 92nd minute, Germán Berterame scored a goal that made half of Monterrey fans sigh and saved the streak and the three points.
They are very offensive, they shoot an average of 10 times at goal, and they overwhelm their opponents with offensive actions. But teams are already discovering certain weaknesses in them, and Rayados almost took advantage of them.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Esteban Andrada; Stefan Medina, Victor Guzmán, Sebastián Vegas, Jesús Gallardo; Luis Romo, Celso Ortíz, Arturo González; Germán Berterame, Rodrigo Aguirre, Rogelio Funes Mori.
JefeBet Prediction
La Fiera defends very well, but Rayados is in steamroller mode. They will have a hard time, but the streak will continue and they will reach eight consecutive wins. Leon continues to struggle to generate, and with a team like La Pandilla that’s something you can’t afford to do.
Prediction: Leon 0-1 Monterrey
