The fifth round of the Torneo Apertura 2022 is upon us and will bring with it several interesting matches in which the teams will be looking to continue positioning themselves for the fight to qualify for the playoffs. On this occasion, we will consider Liga MX bets based on the matchups that will take place, some of which give us high value bets.
Here at JefeBet we will give you some bets to consider and odds for this new Liga MX matchday.
Three Liga MX Bets for Day 5
León vs. Toluca
Toluca’s offensive capacity at the beginning of the tournament has been impressive, as the “Diablos Rojos” scored a total of eight goals in four games, which places them as the second-best offense of the campaign only behind Monterrey.
Scoring several goals again would not be a surprise on this visit to León, as the last meeting between the two clubs ended in an absurd 4-4 draw. In fact, the “Fiera’s” last home game also ended in a 3-3 draw with Pumas.
This, coupled with the fact that 11 of the last 12 official meetings between the two sides have had more than 2.5 goals, suggests that a two-legged clash on this new occasion is quite likely.
Prediction: More than 2.5 goals (Odds -137)
Monterrey vs. Puebla
Monterrey starts the day as one of the three leaders in the standings after winning three of its four games, and receives the visit of Puebla in what will be its second home game of the tournament. However, hosting Puebla will not be an easy task, as the “Franja” are undefeated after four games, although they have drawn their last two matches.
Puebla allowed goals in three of its four appearances so far in the tournament, although it scored goals in each of them. They have also scored in their last four visits to the “Rayados”, and with Monterrey being the highest scoring team in the league so far with ten goals, the chances of both teams scoring are quite high.
Prediction: Both teams score (Odds -120)
Juárez vs. Tigres
Starting the tournament with a painful 2-3 loss to Cruz Azul did not dampen Tigres’ momentum, as they managed to pull themselves together to win all three of their subsequent games. The most impressive part of the case is that none of those matches saw them allow goals, which speaks very well of their defense.
The Juárez defense is not to be discounted neither, for although its results have been mixed with one win, two draws and one loss, it is tied as one of the lowest-scoring in the competition after allowing just two goals in four games. However, the fact that they have scored only three goals does not allow them to take advantage of this good performance.
Therefore, having problems in attack could end up swinging the game in favor of the visitor.The team, which starts as a main favorite not only because it has a more regular performance, but also because it has a good record in this confrontation, with Tigres winning five of the six matches they have played against Juárez in Liga MX, and four of them saw him score exactly three goals.
Prediction: Tigres wins (Odds +109)
