Atlas Guadalajara vs CF Monterrey Predictions & Odds - Liga MX Picks

As we gear up for Matchday 3 of the Liga MX Apertura 2026, all eyes will be on Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara, where Atlas Guadalajara will take on CF Monterrey. This encounter promises to be a thrilling spectacle, especially for soccer betting enthusiasts. Atlas Guadalajara has shown strong attacking prowess, averaging 1.21 goals per match, while Monterrey's offense has netted an average of 2.00 goals per game. Yet, both teams have displayed defensive vulnerabilities, which could lead to an exciting, high-scoring match. As Monterrey's goalkeeper Esteban Andrada is suspended, Atlas sees an opportunity to exploit this defensive gap. With Atlas's home advantage and Monterrey's recent struggles on the road, the stage is set for a captivating clash. Soccer betting odds from sportsbooks like BetMGM Sportsbook suggest a tight contest, with Atlas priced at +170 for a win and Monterrey at +145.

Our 3 betting predictions for Atlas Guadalajara vs CF Monterrey

1. Match Result: CF Monterrey Win

Despite their recent struggles, Monterrey's historical dominance over Atlas cannot be overlooked. With a 20-8 head-to-head record, they have the upper hand. While Atlas has the momentum of a recent win, Monterrey is desperate to bounce back after their loss to Club Necaxa, and they have the offensive firepower to do so. Our soccer betting prediction points towards an away win for Monterrey at odds of +145.

2. Both Teams to Score: Yes

With both teams exhibiting defensive frailties, and an average of over 2 goals per game in their respective matches, it's highly likely that both will find the back of the net. Atlas's attack will look to capitalize on Monterrey's goalkeeper suspension, while Monterrey's forwards aim to exploit Atlas's defensive vulnerabilities. Betting odds at FanDuel Sportsbook suggest a high potential at -149 for both teams to score.

3. Total Goals: Over 2.5

Given both teams' recent matches have seen goals galore, betting on over 2.5 goals seems prudent. Atlas's last match ended with a 1-0 win, but they have typically been involved in higher-scoring games. Monterrey, on the other hand, has been part of matches with at least 3 goals more often than not. Therefore, backing over 2.5 goals at odds of -118 offers good value.
