📊 Form Guide

Monterrey

DLWDWW

Monterrey go into this game coming off the back of a 0-0 Liga MX (Apertura) tied result versus Atlas.

A recurring feature of recent Monterrey games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

Taking their prior 6 matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have lost.

Analysis of their past results shows that Monterrey:

• have left without a victory over Atlas in their previous 2 league games.
• are undefeated in their previous 12 league matches at home. It's been impressive.

Atlas

DLLDLL 📉

Looking at their form, and Atlas have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 12 goals in all. Defensively, Atlas seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out if the trend shall be sustained here in this game.

Pre-game facts show that Atlas:

• remain unbeaten by Monterrey in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 8 league games. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.

Out of a mainly available group, there is just the one fitness worry for the Atlas gaffer Diego Cocca to be concerned with. Mauro Manotas (Cruciate Ligament Injury) misses out for this game.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Monterrey have it within them to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Atlas are also probably going to find it difficult to score although we do think it’s probable that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

We reckon that it will be a controlled 3-1 margin for Monterrey after 90 minutes.
