The second matchday ended up not long ago, and we are just one day away from the start of Matchday 3 of Liga MX; this time, there will also be some intriguing matches between teams vying to finish first in the regular phase of the 2022 Apertura Tournament.
Here at JefeBet we will take a look at some games that are worth taking into consideration when it comes to betting, so if you are thinking about placing money on this Day 3 of the Liga MX, we recommend you to pay attention to the following matches.
Matches and Predictions for Day 3 of Liga MX
Liga MX Matchday 3: America vs. Toluca
América has not had the best start to the tournament failing to win its first two games and wasting a 2-1 lead against Monterrey on Matchday 2. Getting a win at home is not unlikely, but receiving a visit from Toluca, who start Matchday 3 as leaders in the standings, will surely be a tough test.
Toluca’s matches have been entertaining to the max, as the “Diablos Rojos” have scored three goals in both but also conceded goals, so we could expect another busy match, especially considering that Toluca scored at least one goal in six of its nine away games this 2022 overall.
In addition, seven of the last ten meetings between the two clubs have featured goals from both teams.
Prediction: Both teams score (Odds -115)
Liga MX Matchday 3: Pachuca vs. Mazatlan
2022 Clausura finalist Pachuca started the 2022 Apertura on the right foot by winning their first two matches, beating Querétaro 2-0 at home in the first match and Cruz Azul 1-2 away. They will play at home again this time, welcoming a Mazatlán team that still has no points in the standings.
This will be Mazatlan’s first away game this season, and it is worth mentioning that the team lost in its previous two visits to the “Tuzos”, conceding three or more goals in each match. In addition, Pachuca has won ten of its twelve home games in 2022, and has also scored at least two goals in its last five games at the Hidalgo Stadium.
Prediction: Pachuca wins (Odds -172)
Liga MX Matchday 3: Santos vs. Chivas
Guadalajara’s Chivas is the only team in this entire 2022 Apertura that has failed to score a single goal to date, and this visit to Santos Laguna does not bode well, as Chivas have not scored a goal at Corona Stadium since October 2017.
Santos has managed to score at least one goal in its last 12 official home games, but will likely find it difficult to score against a Chivas team that has not allowed more than one goal in any of its last five matches away from the Estadio Akron.
Prediction: Less than 2.5 goals (Odds -140)
