The result model puts Monterrey at 55%, the draw at 22% and Club Tijuana at 23%, from expected goals of 2.03 and 1.24.
The league sets the starting point. Liga MX has produced over 2.5 goals in 55% of its matches, and that is where a team with no record of its own would sit.
Each side's own record. Monterrey have 7 in 12 this season (4 of 6 at home), Club Tijuana 6 in 12 (3 of 5 away). Those records are pulled toward the league rate with the weight of about 24 matches — enough that two or three unusual games cannot swing a rating — giving 56% and 53%.
Last season still counts, briefly. With 12 and 12 games played this season, last season's rates are still blended in and fade out entirely by game 40 — the point at which our testing showed they stop adding accuracy. A single season is part luck, so each club's record is first pulled toward the league average by 34 games' weight. That moves the two figures to 56% and 53%.
The mix. Weighted 40% home side, 40% away side and 20% league — the split that beat every alternative across 30,582 matches of testing — that gives 55%.
Head to head. These sides have met 5 times in three years, producing over 2.5 goals in 80%. That nudges the number 5% of the way toward the head-to-head pattern — deliberately small, because fixtures change more than reputations do — landing on 56%.
Goal expectation. Separately a Poisson model built from attack and defence strength — using real expected-goals data where the league has it — puts this match at 64%, from expected goals of 2.03 for Monterrey and 1.24 for Club Tijuana. Folding in 30% of that view gives 58%.
This breakdown is generated from the same inputs the rating uses, so it cannot describe a calculation we did not perform. The full model is set out in the methodology.

Our numbers give this match a 74% chance of at least one goal before half-time and 40% of two or more. The Liga MX rates, last season and this season combined, are 72% and 40% (this season so far: 70% with a first-half goal, from 116 games). After the break: 77% for a goal and 49% for two or more (league 78% and 48%). Monterrey's last 50 games had a first-half goal 86% of the time and a second-half goal 76%; Club Tijuana's last 50, 68% and 72%. A goal in both halves: 58% (league 57%). Highest-scoring half: second 42%, first 31%, level 27% — close to the league's usual split, because team form says little about which half is busier. Team form says less about a single half than about a full match, so these numbers stay close to the league's.
Every match ranked the same way: first half goals today · second half goals today · goal in both halves today · tomorrow.
