Monterrey sit eighth in the table with three points. A goal difference of 4-4 tells the story pretty clearly - plenty of firepower going forward, but the defence hasn't been reliable. They have one of the stronger squads in the league, capable of breaking down almost any backline. No injury concerns either; all the key players are fit and available for the trip to Estadio Jalisco. Monterrey are coming to Guadalajara for three points, looking to get back among the leaders as quickly as possible.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Both teams have come out of the gate scoring at a high rate - around two goals per game on average. Atlas, playing at home, will get their chances and should find the net. At the same time, their defence is up against one of the sharper attacks in the division, and keeping a clean sheet looks unlikely. Monterrey's record of four scored and four conceded points pretty clearly toward goals at both ends. Given the form of both sides and their intent going forward, Both Teams To Score - Yes is the most justified call here. A 1-1 draw is one way it could go.
