Matchday 8 of the 2024 Apertura of the Liga MX will close with the match between Monterrey and Juárez, a game with crossed realities and that, if it is favorable for the regios, could be devastating for the border team facing the arrival of the middle of the Mexican tournament.
Here are our five predictions for this match between one of the best in the league and the second-to-last team in the standings:
We know that in Liga MX it doesn’t matter if you’re last, you can beat the leader, a case that Rayados and Juárez will face. The team from Monterrey is currently in 4th place in the championship with 16 points (5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses), while the team from the border barely managed its first win against Mazatlán and reached 4 points (1 win, 1 draw, 5 losses).
Since their arrival in the Top Circuit, Monterrey is a rival that has been indigestible to the Bravos, they have faced each other on 10 occasions and the score is favorable to the Rayados with 7 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses. In fact, there is a 1-6 in favor of the Pandilla in the GUARD1ANES Clausura 2021.
Facing a seemingly easy opponent, Germán Berterame will seek to increase his goal-scoring haul. So far, the Argentine has scored 4 goals and wants to catch up with Rotondi del Azul and Días del Toluca, who have 4 and 5 goals respectively.
The border team does not tire of conceding goals in this Apertura 2024, until before Matchday 8 they have received 17 goals, with Chivas being their biggest executioner by scoring 5 goals against them in week 6 of the championship.
Lucas Ocampos was barely introduced after his time with Sevilla and already made an appearance with Monterrey. In the win against Santos, he came on in the 74th minute and in the 90th minute he provided an assist for Berterame that put the game 0-2 in the final score. The Argentine will do well for Rayados and, of course, for Liga MX.
