Let's take a not-so-leisurely stroll down the recent memory lane. Monterrey and Club León have been in a bit of a see-saw in their past matchups. Sometimes it's Monterrey doing the smacking, other times it's León who gets to feel smug. It's like watching two bullies take turns on the seesaw, thrilling and chilling!
The Regular Season Records suggest Club León might have a slight upper hand with more victories. But let's toss that aside for a moment because the Recent Results tell a slightly different story. Monterrey has been on flames, looking sharper than my Grandma's knitting needles, winning three of their last five matches. Those guys at León, though, they haven't been quite so lucky. They've been piling on the losses, like we pile on the lbs during the festive season, winning just one game out of their previous five.
Monterrey is not only favored in this particular match-up, they've got that winning vibe about them. It's like the smell of a brand new car or freshly cut grass, only in this case it's the smell of victory! With Monterrey's recent track record and the history between these teams, I feel like this one might be going their way.
And although I have been known to have the prediction accuracy of a blind pelican at times, I think we’re about to see Monterrey secure a victory here. Nothing too dramatic, just a tidy win that looks likely to fall into their lap like a drunken sloth from a tree, and a winning margin that’s only as wide as a single grain of sand.
