Pick : Monterrey Odds : 1.95 Stake : 7 / 10 Bookmaker : Pointbet Atlante vs Monterrey Sunday, February 11, 2007 01:00 CET Stadium: Azteca Referee: Jaime Herrera Garduño Serie: 23GP - 6 Wins for Atlante - 8 Draws - 9 Wins for Monterrey In last six matches Atlante hasn't been able to beat Monterrey and of those six have been Monterrey victories. In last four matches Atlante has been unable to score a goal to Monterrey Atlante The team go back to his reality, after loosing 3-0 to San Luis, in a match where they accept an early goal via penalty, and although having later a penalty to tie the score FW Gustavo Bizcayzacu fail it and was unable to score. The team goes to second half with just 1 goal disadvantage but in that second part the team was almost disappear from the field as San Luis was able to score again. Then FW Francisco Mendoza faces assistant referee Isabel Tovar because of a offside which has end in Atlante goal and was disallow, but he was thrown out of the match by referee Marco Antonio Rodriguez. With numerous superiority San Luis was able to score again by FW Abreu. Is worrying how Atlante lost their football intention and wasn't able to work throught in defense in away, and the worst is their striker failing to score a penalty, the team didn't show any of their characteristics, and was clearly over run by San Luis. The team had to work a lot during the weekend to improve, still we can remark that this season in the only match they have played in home they win it. Still in that match it highlights the analysis the coach did of his rival team, but in last match it really fails on that matter. It will be hard to stand for fans if Atlante again on home comes out defending and counter-attacking but with the resources the team have is hard to propose a game and more after their last defeat. And with six goals against in three games they have play, as only against Cruz Azul they have hold the other team not to score, in the match against Monterrey they first objective is not to allow goals, as remark by defence David Oteo. This match is spice up with the fact that Monterrey coach Miguel Herrera had before been coach of Atlante (in a stage where Atlante was very offensive, contrary to the recent run of the team.). Also for this match changes are expected as coach Guadalupe Cruz could punish player who aren't showing full compromise and could go to the bench and give chance to youth players. Suspended: FW F. Mendoza (2 games) Monterrey Lost a streak of 11 unbeaten games in Tecnologico stadium, as they lost 1-2 against Cruz Azul in a high intensity match. In which Cruz Azul began scoring with a great goal, after a bad deflect of DF Baloy, which Cruz Azul FW Jared Borguetti was able to point over the GK and score the opener. But in the second half, Monterrey was able to tie the scoreline as MF Gracian score a penalty. But moments later Cruz Azul MF Richard Nuñez, score goal from a good free kick and give Cruz Azul the advantage. Monterrey have a good chance when the match was ending in a counter attack with a shoot of Gracian which was stop by Cruz Azul DF Julio Dominguez in the goal line. As if loosing the unbeaten streak in home wasn't enough, coach Miguel Herrera was expelled again, with this in 200 games in first division he has collect 19 expulsions, almost one every 10 games. And after he was out of the field, DF Ibarra was also expelled of the game by the referee, but altought the inferiour number of players of Monterrey they didn't allow another goal. The good thing of the team was a good offensive work, still wasn't reflected on the scorline, the team show offensive work and thanks to a good defence of Cruz Azul was that the team was unable to score. But that was expected as in home they play better, still is to highlight as two of his main mid fielders where injured. During midweek FW Hugo Rodallega play with his national team Colombia and was able to score the honour goal for his team, in the defeat of Colombia 3-1 to Uruguay. The team carries a two game loosing streak in this tournament and a long streak of 12 away games without a victory, last tournament was unable to win in away. And with a recent defeat on home, they need to rever this soon in order to avoid pressure over the institution. In the absences, is possible that Walter Erviti didn't play as in addition to his muscular problems he is having gastritis and it is still unknown if he has been able to overpass this. But the good news could be the return of MF Luis Perez who is important for the team middle field and supply field view. Suspended: Coach Miguel Herrera DF P. Ibarra (3 games) Injured: DF Paulo Serafín DF Diego Ramírez MF Walter Erviti (doubtfoul) Match: Monterrey will propose the match as Atlante will go to laid back and try not to get goal scored, with their counterattack will wait for an space or mistake of Monterrey defence, I expected to play as against Cruz Azul with wings attacks. Prediction: Atlante needs to bounce back and Monterrey seems in a bad streak, so both teams need the victory, but just one can take it, and altought Atlante is favorite and home teams have dominate and the bad streak of Monterrey in away. I see value on Monterrey due to the fact that they have dominate the last games. Atlante is lacking of offensive power and against Monterrey that is hard, I expect Monterrey to go back to good result. Pick : Under 2.5 Odds : 1.80 Stake : 8 / 10 Bookmaker : Pointbet Tigres UANL vs San Luis Sunday, February 11, 2007 03:00 CET Stadium: Universitario Referee: Roberto García Orozco Serie: 7GP - 2 Wins for Tigres - 2 Draws - 3 Wins for San Luis Last three matches have been under, and in last two Tigres has been unable to defeat San Luis. Tigres UANL Tigres has get to an streak of two unbeaten matches, because altough opening with a away defeat the team has show some improvement beating America and tying with Morelia in away. The team has shown in last two matches solid defending as they haven't allow a single goal in last two matches. Is to highlight that in minute 74' the team was leave with 10 players as MF Jesus Palacios was expeleed from the game. And to make things worse his coach Mario Carillo was expelled in minute 89'. In the offensive the team continues to have lack of accuracy as they have only score twice in last three matches and their reinforcement Francisco "Kikin" Fonseca has been unable to score a single goal. For me is to highlight that Walter Gaitan was expected to play the whole match as he was returning from suspension, but he was field just in part of the second half, and wasn't able to perform. Young FW Emmanuel Cerda continues to have chances in the offensive part and he was leave all the match , but with a defensive scheme as Carillo is working with, he had few chances to show what he is capable of doing. And is to remark that since the beggining of the year couting Interliga, that is seven matches they have played, only two have gone over. The other's have remain under. And in the first three games of the tournament they have only allow two goals and are ranked in the top five of the best defenses of the tournament. Good news in that area is the return of DF Briceño, who was injured since round one, but has overcome the injury and is able to play. Is worth to mention that young Jesús Chávez and he has done very good the taks he has been assign. So a nice problem for coach Carillo. As highlighted that Walter Gaitan came in from the bench, the player was surprise with this decision as he was expected to go from start against Morelia, but he was in the bench, and this was good for the player as he undestand he is part of a team and not the star of it. Gaitan is eager to play and contribute to the benefit of the team. And with the absence of Jaime Lozano he could go for this match from the start. Suspended: MF Jesus Palacios DF Fabián Cubero (2 matches remaning) Coach Mario Carillo Injured: MF Jaime Lozano San Luis It seems that coach Arias has finally correct on the position he puts his players as last match the team won 3-0, with a great performance of FW Sebastian Abreu who score first by penalty and socre the last goal in the final minutes of the game where the team was in player advantage. Also FW Israel "Jagger" Martinez was able to score the second goal of the team. Is to remark that San Luis bounce back in home and after loosing in second round to Morelia in this game was able to win and claim his first three points, which helps the team in the fight for relegation as they continue to put distance between Santos and Queretaro. But still the team didn't deserve such a high difference in the score, but they make the goals. The team dominate the gameplay with authority, and don't allow many goal chances to Atlante. It is to see if the team really improve and this match will be a good test for that, and not just a single good game between a bad streak as they have previously two defeats. Is to remark that this striker FW Sebastian Abreu play in midweek with his national team and score twice in the victory of Uruguay 3-1 Colombia. The team will go again to hit the road in away and after first round defeat they face twice home games and this will be a hard task for the team. Injured: MF Angel Reyna (doutbfoul) Match: It is expected a match with Tigres going forward but not being careless of defense and with a good support from the stands, and San Luis laid back with counterattack stragety looking for a mistake of the home side. Prediction: Tigres have good strikers as also San Luis, but Tigres is playing focus on defence and San Luis is a laid back team when playing away that focus on counter-attack and although his last three games have gone over, I sense that here they are going to be few goals.
