Mazatlan - Monterrey

Short match review

The second match for Mazatlán in the Mexican championship. Liga MX, Apertura. Their opponent will be Monterrey. The match will take place in Mazatlán on July 15, 2023.

In their previous encounter, the victory went to the visitors. Interestingly, Monterrey also achieved this victory on the road. So, the team could repeat this success.

Monterrey managed to win thanks to their strong attacking play. Mazatlán surely wants to retaliate for that significant defeat.

Recently, the teams have played against each other 3 times, with Monterrey dominating and not losing any of those matches.

Let's try to analyze which team is stronger.

Mazatlán: Currently occupies 12th place in the league table out of 18 teams. The coach, Ismael Rescalvo, continues to work with the team, which is in decent form. However, the team struggles to find the right balance between defense and attack, resulting in conceding quite a lot of goals.

Looking at their recent matches:

In their last home game, Mazatlán played against Pachuca and the teams showed roughly equal performance, resulting in a 1-1 draw. The match was not the easiest in terms of fouls, as 5 yellow cards were shown. Before that, 9 days ago, Mazatlán played a home match against Pachuca, but they couldn't secure a victory and suffered a narrow 1-2 loss.

Monterrey: Currently occupies 10th place in the league table out of 18 teams. The team is coached by Fernando Ortiz, and they are in average form.

Looking at their recent matches:

In their last away game, Monterrey faced Atlético San Luis, resulting in a draw which is unlikely to satisfy them. 2 yellow cards were issued to the team during the match. In the game before that, Monterrey played at home against UANL Tigres. The team demonstrated a solid defense, but a single accurate shot decided the match in favor of their opponents. 1 yellow card was shown to the team during that match.

So, who should you bet on? Despite playing as the away team, Monterrey is rightfully considered the clear favorite by bookmakers. The odds for an away win are 1.63 (Betcity).
