• C.F. Monterrey vs. FC Jaurez pick: C.F. Monterrey alternate Asian spread -1, (-148) at bet365

From a bird’s eye view, this encounter jumps out as a mismatch just by looking at the table. FC Juarez have given up the second most goals in the competition with 17, with 11 of them occurring when they have played as the visiting side. Monterrey haven’t looked sharp playing at their home fortress, but of their two defeats at Estadio BBVA, they squared off against the current top two sides in the league. Monterrey should outclass Juarez in this situation, as the hosts boast a huge discrepancy in the wage bill department as Monterrey has the biggest payroll in Liga MX versus Juarez who are near the bottom of the list.
