Soccer is the national passion in Mexico, one of the countries where StarsPay operates, with tens of millions of passionate fans across the country, similar to Brazil. The main competition in Mexican soccer is Liga MX, which is currently holding the “Apertura” phase. The tournament kicks off the 2024/25 season of the league, featuring 18 teams that compete in a single round-robin format, determining the qualifiers for the playoffs.
Like Brazilians, Mexicans also enjoy sports betting and soccer is the sport on which most bets are placed. The next round, the fifth of the 17 scheduled, will only start on August 23, providing an opportunity for those who enjoy future bets to place wagers on the final outcome.
Who are the favorites?
Some of the main platforms available for Brazilians offer odds on the final outcome of the Apertura in Liga MX, with different markets. It’s worth noting that the odds vary between sites, so it is recommended that users check different platforms if they wish to bet on their favorite team.
On a well-known site, for example, the bet on the final winner of the tournament places Cruz Azul and Tigres UANL as favorites, paying 4.50 each. Following them is Club America, with odds of 5, and Monterrey, which pays 6 to 1. However, on another platform, America appears as the favorite, paying 3.90, against 5.20 for Cruz Azul and Tigres, illustrating the importance of research for users.
On a third platform, the bet on the Liga MX Apertura is different, referring to whether the team will finish among the top six. Thus, it is clear that the odds for the favorites to win the title are much lower in this market, but it opens options for those who believe a mid-table team will surprise.
Goals in the net
Another future bet available for Liga MX Apertura concerns who will be the top scorer, that is, the player who will score the most goals. Henry Martin, a player from America, stands out as the favorite at betting houses, with an operator placing odds of 5.50 for him to be the top scorer. In second place is the Portuguese Paulinho Fernandes from Toluca, followed by Georgios Giakoumakis from Cruz Azul, and Lucas Cavallini from Puebla.
