C.F. Monterrey vs. Chivas Guadalajara Betting Prediction

C.F. Monterrey Preview

Martín Demichelis’ men suffered a shocking defeat last Saturday, dropping a 2-1 result on their home turf to lowly Club Tijuana. Inside the 90-minute frame, the Rayados dominated, outshooting their counterpart 12 to seven while finishing with an xG of 2.45 versus Tijuana’s xG of 0.85. Ultimately C.F. Monterrey missed out on their opportunities after dominating the match, which failed to translate into three points. 

Getting the Rayados on the scoreboard was none other than the dependable talent, Sergio Canales. Converting from the spot kick area, the veteran attacking midfielder extended his goal-scoring streak to three games across all competitions. Through 13 league outings, Canales has harvested six goals and six assists. 

It was a quiet evening for German Berterame facing Club Tijuana last weekend. The team’s leading striker had the least amount of touches by any outfield player to play 90 minutes. Throughout his 953 minutes played on the pitch this year, Berterame has cataloged six goals.

Chivas Guadalajara Preview

Gerardo Espinoza’s troops saw their winless run resume over the weekend when they were blanked 1-0 by Cruz Azul. With the setback, Chivas are now outside a play-in round position after only securing four wins through 13 league matches. 

The club's leading goal-getter this year, Roberto Alvarado has gone ice cold failing to find the back of the net since February 9th. His six-game drought has come at an awful time with Chivas sliding down the table. In 130 appearances in a Striped Goats kit, Alvarado has amassed 28 goals and 24 assists across all competitive matches.

After contributing seven goals in the previous term, Cade Cowell has failed to provide a spark up front on the attack in the 2025 Clausura. In eight jaunts, the 21-year-old American is still looking to ink his name on the scorers' sheet. Cowell has 11 international caps under his belt with his home nation of the U.S.A., where he has only netted one goal.

• C.F. Monterrey vs. Chivas Guadalajara pick: Both teams to score yes (-125) at bet365

Approaching Saturday's skirmish, both opponents are in solid form when it comes to participating in contests that featured both keepers being breached. Partaking in 13 league affairs, C.F. Monterrey has witnessed both sides bagging a tally in 11 junctures while for Chivas, it has materialized eight times. The six Liga MX duels to take place at Estadio BBVA in 2025, five times both teams scored, helping solidify our wager in this fixture with these key trends.
