Betting on Tijuana (+120 at Caliente)
The Xolos had a forgettable Clausura 2023 tournament. Led by Miguel Herrera, they finished in fifteenth place with a mere 16 points, resulting from a poor record of three wins, seven draws, and the same number of defeats.
In their own stadium, they managed to secure victory on two occasions out of the nine matches played. However, it is worth noting that they had six draws, with only one loss. The alarming part is that they were the second team with the fewest goals scored at home (10), just behind Juárez (9). It’s definitely an area they need to work on.
Although in five out of the last six recent Tijuana matches, the Over (2.5) was covered, the story is quite different in their home stadium. The numbers speak for themselves, as in four out of their past six games, there were less than three goals scored. At Caliente, the Under (2.5) has a line of (+125), and if you choose to bet on it, you can win up to $125 for every $100 wagered.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Jesús Corona; Rodrigo Godínez, Nicolás Díaz, Diego Barbosa, Ismael Govea; Francisco Contreras, Fernando Madrigal, Lucas Rodríguez; Braian Romero, Alexis Canelo, Carlos González.

Betting on Pumas ( +210 at Caliente)
Pumas was another big disappointment at the start of the year in Liga MX. They finished with 18 points and suffered defeats in nine out of their 17 matches. It’s worth noting that six of those losses came on the road.
To break the curse, the Auriazules will have to end a streak of four matches without victories away from home, something they haven’t achieved since their 2-1 victory against Mazatlán at El Kraken on February 25.
However, in order to do that, Pumas must first improve their defensive performance as they were the second team to concede the most goals in the previous tournament (32), only behind the aforementioned Cañoneros (41).
A detail to keep in mind is that in four out of the last six matches involving the Universitarios, both teams found the back of the net. Caliente offers odds of (-200) for Both Teams to Score: Yes. If you choose to bet solely on this outcome, you can win $50 for every $100 you wager.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Gil Alcalá; Pablo Bennevendo, Ricardo Galindo, Nathan Silva, Nicolás Freire; Jorge Ruvalcaba, Marco García, Eduardo Salvio; Juan Ignacio Dinenno, César Huerta, Gustavo del Prete.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Tijuana vs Pumas
Both teams are coming off a disastrous Clausura tournament, and it’s time to turn the page and start fresh. After such a disappointing performance, it’s clear that the rebuilding process needs to begin from the back, especially since both teams had a hard time keeping goals out of their net. With that in mind, we predict a draw in this match, with emotions running low.
Out of the last six Tijuana vs Pumas matches, three ended in a draw, and in two of those, no goals were scored. At Caliente, the Final Score: 0-0 has a tempting line of (+900), which means you could win $900 for every $100 you bet on this result.
