Mazatlan F.C. vs. C.F. Monterrey Betting Prediction

Mazatlan F.C. Preview 

Christian Ramírez and his colleagues will aim to get into the win column on Friday after two failed attempts. Earlier this week, their 2-1 defeat to Club Puebla extended the club's winless run to seven straight, dating back to the previous term. Inside the 90-minute frame, their tilt against Los Camoteros saw Mazatlán get heavily outshot, 21 to eight. The only Cañoneros member to ink his name on the scoresheet, Facundo Almada, hit the back of the net in the 69th minute. 

The pair of strikers for Mazatlán, Jesus Hernandez and Fabio Gomes, are seeking their first tally of the season. Between the pair, even after two matches, they have yet to catalogue a shot on target which is concerning. The Cañoneros are a side that already lacks production overall, finishing last season 16th in goals per match.

C.F. Monterrey Preview 

Domènec Torrent’s men earned their first win of 2026, dismantling Club Necaxa 2-0 on the road Tuesday evening. The story of the match was the display Iker Fimbres put on throughout his 90-minute shift. The 20-year-old doubled Monterrey’s lead just after the half-hour mark. The centrally positioned player could be poised for a solid campaign with over 50 career professional matches under his belt. As a club, the Rayados have scored on six occasions in their previous five games, dating back to the 2025 Apertura season. 

With the winter market still open, C.F. Monterrey made a splash of their own over the weekend, landing a sought-after MLS product, Luca Orellano. Departing FC Cincinnati after two years with the club, the 25-year-old gathered 15 goals in 77 appearances across all competitions.

Mazatlan F.C. vs. C.F. Monterrey - My Pick

• Mazatlán F.C. vs. C.F. Monterrey pick: C.F. Monterrey ML 3-way (-141) at bet365

Since the Cañoneros made their Liga MX debut in 2020, history has not been kind when matched up against the five-time Liga MX champions. In 11 all-time meetings, C.F. Monterrey have pocketed seven wins, and with Friday’s affair approaching, we feel they can take care of business on the road. Mazatlán has made no vital winter moves to bolster a subpar offence.

After two league matches, it looks as though it could be another long season where breaching the keeper won’t materialize as much as they hope. The Rayados should overwhelm their counterpart with the personnel they possess, even on two full days of rest.
