In their last five matches, León averaged 1.4 goals scored and conceded only 0.8, while Monterrey scored as many as 2.6 goals per game and conceded an average of 1.0.

In Monterrey’s matches during this period, 80% finished with at least three goals, and both teams scored in 80% of cases; León’s Over 2.5 goals rate is lower at 40%, which makes the 2.5 line more evenly balanced. At home, the hosts average 23.5 shots, including 11.5 on target, while Monterrey failed to score in only 0% of their matches this season. The strongest selection is Over 1.5, as both teams have recorded at least two goals in all of their matches so far this season, and the projected 2.90 goals gives this line a clear advantage.
