Alebrijes (home)
Alebrijes come into this one in mixed form across the past five competitive matches, but they will be buoyed by a 3-2 win over Dorados , a 2-0 away defeat to Tepatitlán and a 6-2 loss at Irapuato .
Dorados (away)
Dorados arrive in poor shape after a disappointing Clausura campaign, in a run of five games, and fall to yet another 3-2 loss to Alebrijes .
Head-to-Head
Alebrijes have had the better of the recent history, winning three of the last five meetings .
Alebrijes
- José Franco gives Alebrijes a different dimension to their game, where they can be a real threat when they get numbers forward.
- Carlos Rodas has been a solid presence in goal.
- Alfonso Tamay could be the spark plug for Alebrijes here, a player who can pop up late in the second half to make a difference.
Dorados
- Cirilo Saucedo's Dorados have a compact set-up and try to get forward quickly when they win the ball back.
- Luis García and La Joya Vázquez are the names to look out for on the Dorados, but their firepower will be tested.
Betting Insights
- Alebrijes are the 1.82 favourites here, which is probably about right, but the long odds on Dorados at 4.01 and the 3.6 for the draw seem to ignore the fact that this is a close game.
- This is another reason to lean BTTS-Yes at 1.73 and over 2.5 goals as the main play.
Prediction
However, Alebrijes can get the win here, but it is likely to be in a goal-heavy game where the set pieces and transition play are key.
