Chivas Guadalajara vs Monterrey Predictions

• Chivas have won their last 3 matches, scoring 5 times in the process.
• Monterrey have not won any of their last 10 Liga MX games, losing 6 times in the process.
• That run includes defeats in 4 of their last 5 away league outings; over which they’ve conceded an average of 2 goals a game.

Chivas looking to continue play-off push

After finishing just 2 points short of the play-offs over the opening phase of Liga MX action, Chivas’ are desperate to avoid said fate again in this closing stage. Currently 5th with 15 points from 9 games, the side are well on course to finish in the top 8 and will be trying to sustain their form over the coming fixtures.

The hosts didn’t start the year particularly well but their recent performances have been excellent and have seen them shoot up the table. Overall, they’ve now won their last 3 matches, scoring an impressive 5 goals in the process and that leaves their confidence high heading into this weekend’s clash.

Monterrey desperate to stop the rot

Meanwhile, the story of the Clausura phase so far has undoubtedly been the fall of Monterrey. The visitors put in some excellent performances over the opening phase to crown themselves champions but have been utterly atrocious in 2020, taking just 4 points from 9 matches to put themselves rock bottom of the table.

All in all, Monterrey have not won any of their last 10 Liga MX games, losing 6 times in the process and that leaves confidence at rock bottom in visiting ranks. Said run includes 4 defeats from their last 5 away league matches; a streak which has also seen them concede a concerning average of 2 goals a game.

Chivas should be able to claim the points

Ultimately, Chivas have to be considered clear favourites to win Sunday’s game and will be looking to do exactly that. Monterrey’s fall from grace is unexplainable but they are clearly in a bad place right now and are struggling to break out of what is a terrible run of form.

All things considered, backing a home win looks the way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. Chivas have real momentum behind them and we fancy them to make it 4 wins on the bounce via a 2-0 margin of victory.
