C.F. Monterrey vs. Cruz Azul Betting Prediction

C.F. Monterrey Preview

Over the weekend, Domènec Torrent’s men were outclassed on the road, suffering a two-goal defeat against Pumas UNAM. Not only was it the Rayados' third loss of the season, but it was also the third time they have been left off the scorers' sheet. Despite finishing their 90-minute encounter outshooting their opponent 25 to 10, C.F. Monterrey were unable to create any dangerous opportunities. 

Their ex-star striker, who has led the line for multiple seasons and swapped kits this winter for Inter Miami CF colours, is showing in the absence of German Berterame. When the club has faced quality sides this campaign, it’s been hard to generate any creativity that leads to dangerous opportunities. Despite the lack of offence we are used to, they’re still weapons on the roster that can make something out of nothing, as the club is sixth overall in goals per game, averaging 1.40.

Cruz Azul Preview

Hunting down the league leaders in the table, Nicolás Larcamón and his colleagues are playing in peak condition. Across all competitions played, they are unbeaten in their last eight. Their latest conquest saw La Máquina get the better of first-place Chivas Guadalajara, winning 2-1 and closing the gap to two points in the table. 

Cruz Azul’s key players rose to the occasion when it mattered most. Gabriel Fernández opened the scoring in the 31st minute against Chivas, collecting his second of the year. After conceding in the final ten minutes, Carlos Rodríguez followed up with a header in the six-yard box, which turned out to be the game-winner in dramatic fashion. Cruz Azul have scored the second-most goals in Liga MX after seven matches, totaling 13.

C.F. Monterrey vs. Cruz Azul - My Pick

• C.F. Monterrey vs. Cruz Azul pick: Both teams to score yes (-150) at bet365

When these two clash, no matter the circumstance, both clubs featuring on the scoreboard haven’t seen the outcome as much as we would like to see in the historical data. That said, we feel that both teams are in good positions to score on Saturday. Cruz Azul are a scoring machine of late, bagging 13 goals in their previous five matches across all competitions.

Cruz Azul's defence on the road can be suspect at times, letting six get past them in three league outings. With the fragile backline play, C.F. Monterrey are more than capable of breaching the opposing keeper, as they netted five goals in their last three home dates across all competitions.
