The strongest signal points to a draw at half-time: Cancún were level at the break in 4 of their last 5 matches, compared with Mineros in 2 of 5; both teams averaged 0.4 goals before half-time over this period. After the break, the hosts should have the edge: they average 1.5 second-half goals at home, while Cancún concede an average of 1.4 away from home. Mineros’ case for a full-time win is also supported by their average of 2.17 goals scored at home, compared with 2.2 goals conceded by the visitors away, as well as their xG advantage: 2.19 to 1.22. However, the X/1 pick is not certain, as Cancún have averaged 1.6 points per match over their last 5 games, compared with 1.2 for Mineros; despite this difference, the two teams’ half-by-half profiles at their respective venues most strongly support a draw at the break and a home win after 90 minutes.
