Club Leon vs Monterrey Prediction: Monterrey Leading the Table Standings

In the upcoming scheduled fixture of Liga MX, Matchday 9, we have Club Leon taking on the table toppers, Monterrey at the León Stadium in Leon. With 7 wins from 8 matches played and 21 points, Monterrey tops the table standings comfortably. Club Leon on the other hand stands 8th with 3 wins and 11 points from 7 matches played. Monterrey leads the table standings quite convincingly, securing a seat in the final series. However, there are over 10 matches to be played in the contest, the table could turn around anytime. Monterrey last played Leon in August 2022 and Monterrey won (5-1) quite convincingly. 

Club Leon is coming off a draw against FC Juarez (0-0), which won’t be bothering Leon at the moment. However, the doubts on availability of William Tesillo, Pedro Hernandez, Jose David, and Byton Castillo will be troubling the team management. Just half way through the contest, Leon will be looking to have its squad aligned before the important clash. Moreover, Paul Bellon will be unavailable due to a red card suspension in the previous game. With 5 goals scored in the last 5 matches played, Leon averages 1 goal per game. Striking with this average, Leon is unlikely to attack Monterrey and win. With a scoring average of 1.70 goals in the last 10 matches played at home, Leon might be able to find the net once.

Monterrey will be cherishing their form in the current season of Liga MX, as they have won 7 of the last 8 matches played. Monterrey is coming off a win against Club Necaxa (2-1), in which Rogelio Funes and German Berterame scored goals. With Rodrigo Aguirre and Luis Cardenas feeling a little blue, Monterrey might introduce new faces at half time. Monterrey has scored 2 goals in each of its last 5 matches played. Hence, we can expect Monterrey to score 2 or even more goals against Leon. Though Monterrey averages 1.60 goals in the last 10 away fixtures, it will be fancying its chances for scoring over 2 goals.

For the upcoming matchup both teams will be missing out on a few players, hence, we are likely to see some new faces in both playing elevens. In order to predict the upcoming contest we have to draw down our analysis to the past head-to-head record. In the last 5 matches between the two, Leon has won two and Monterrey was successful in just one. Apart from this, the current match winning and consistent match form of Monterrey catches my attention. Hence, I will be backing Monterrey to win and score over 2 goals. The final scoreline is predicted to be 1-2.

• C.F Monterrey to Win for 2.60
• Total Over 2.5 for 1.77
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.61
