What to expect
We expect about 2.3 goals from Monterrey and 1.1 from Juarez, so Monterrey come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.4 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Monterrey come into this on two straight wins. Juarez come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Monterrey to win. Monterrey are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.3-1.1), and we make them about 61% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 61 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.50, which works out at about 67 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

One thing to watch
Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Juarez a draw or better. The price is shorter than our own read of about 61%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
