Monterrey vs Pumas Preview
After a successful matchday 12 for both Rayados and Auriazules, both teams are preparing to face each other in a tight match for a new date in the Mexican first division. Both teams will be looking for the three points of victory in a clash that will be more even than we imagined.
The match between Monterrey vs Pumas will take place this Wednesday, October 23 at the BBVA stadium, located in the municipality of Guadalupe, Nuevo León, the home of the Rayados. The match corresponds to matchday 13 of the 2024 Liga MX Apertura Tournament and you can follow it live from 7:00 pm (CDMX time).
The match between these teams will be key, as they are only separated by one point in the table, where a victory for Pumas could mean consolidating themselves in the top spots and gaining an advantage over Tijuana; while Monterrey continues to depend on what Tigres does, but a victory would give them an advantage in the first date of a close double-header.
The Monterrey vs Pumas prediction has a favorite, but the trend indicates that it will be a much more even match than expected. Don’t miss the news and soccer prediction that Novibet has for this match.
Monterrey vs Pumas Prediction
Monterrey wins the match +115
Over 2.5 goals scored -103
Both teams do score goals -132
The odds for this match are pretty even, with Rayados and Pumas winning and even a draw. Each result has positive odds, which would leave you with benefits in almost all outcomes. However, there is one potential favorite: Rayados de Monterrey.
Monterrey has gone 5 games without knowing defeat against Pumas, in addition, the Universitarios have been irregular when they have to play away from home, for this reason, our first Monterrey vs Pumas prediction will be on the winner of the match, a bet also known as “ moneyline ”.
Rayados de Monterrey are the favorites with odds of +115 for a victory , and the team has a 45% chance of winning. On the other hand, Pumas’ victory has odds of +235, and they are the underdogs with only 28% of the probability. A tie is the least likely result with odds of +240 and a 27% chance of occurring.
If you plan to place a bet of at least $150.00 pesos on the Rayados victory, you could receive a profit of $322.50 pesos; while, a bet for the same amount on the Pumas victory, would leave you with a potential profit of $502.50 pesos. A draw leaves a profit of $510.00, but it is the least likely.
The second of the sports bets with good odds for this match is for the total goals “over/under” market, where based on the scoring tendency of the teams, we take 2.5 goals as the average line. It should be noted that both offenses have been responding well , although the defenses have also been solid.
With this in mind, the odds tell us that over 2.5 goals will be scored -103 . The bet that under 2.5 goals will be scored has odds of -125, a result that does not seem far-fetched either.
The third prediction is for the “both teams to score” market, a type of bet that is ideal to try in the live betting mode , since it allows you to bet in real time while the match is taking place. Here the odds lean towards the result that both teams do score a goal -132 .
However, the outcome of both teams not scoring is also likely at -105, as both teams’ defense has done a good job of limiting their opponents.
