It's seven in the evening on an ordinary Friday at a corner estanquillo. The line moves slowly because the man behind the counter also sells phone top-ups and takes electricity-bill payments. When your turn finally comes, you ask for your usual Progol ticket — the same fourteen matches you fill in almost from memory every week — and he, without looking up from the machine, asks the same question he always does: "¿le entra a la Revancha?" — are you in on the Revancha? You've been saying yes out of habit for years, without ever stopping to think what exactly you're buying with that yes. That question, repeated thousands of times a week at points of sale across the country, is why Progol Revancha shows up among the most consistent searches related to Mexico's sports pools — and also why so many people end up confusing it with a completely unrelated product: Melate's Revancha.
Progol's Revancha, explained plainly
When you activate Revancha on your Progol ticket, you are not buying a second copy of your same picks, nor a repeat of the Clásico's fourteen matches. You are buying entry into an additional block of predictions, separate from the Clásico, printed on the same slip but settled against its own prize fund, distinct from the one the Clásico pays out. It's a decision you make at the moment of payment, together with whoever is serving you or directly at the machine: you check the box, cover the extra charge, and from there you have two shots at a prize on a single ticket instead of one.
This is where this article has to be honest about its own limits: MelateBot is built around Melate, Melate Retro, and their Revancha and Revanchita add-ons — the numbers draw — not around Progol. We don't maintain a database of Progol Revancha's weekly match schedule or its current price, because those figures are set and adjusted directly by Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública, and they can change from one round to the next without notice. We'd rather not print a price or a match count here that could be outdated by next week; for that, the correct source is your own ticket or the official Pronósticos site, not a blog post.
Same name, different mechanics: why it gets confused with Melate
The confusion with Melate isn't an accident: the same operator, Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública, uses the word "Revancha" as a commercial name for a similar idea across several of its games — a second shot at a prize, on the same ticket, for an extra cost. But "similar idea" doesn't mean "identical mechanics," and that distinction is worth sitting with.
In Melate, activating Revancha means your same six numbers — the ones you already chose for the main draw — also enter an independent ball draw, held the same night, without the bonus ball the main Melate draw has, and with its own accumulated jackpot. You don't choose different numbers for Revancha: it's the exact same combination, played twice across two separate drawings of numbered balls.
In Progol, activating Revancha is something else entirely. You are not repeating your same prediction in another ball draw — in fact, Progol has no balls at all. What you're doing is marking a second block of sports predictions, on matches different from the Clásico's, inside a game whose outcome depends on what happens on real playing fields, not on a mechanical extraction. One Revancha reuses your play inside pure chance; the other asks you for a brand-new play inside a sports prediction. They share a name because they share an owner and share the commercial logic of "an extra shot for an extra cost," but underneath, they have nothing in common.
How Progol works, for anyone arriving without context
For anyone who isn't already a regular Progol player, the basic context helps. Progol is Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública's flagship sports pool: on the Clásico ticket you mark your prediction — home win, draw, or away win — for fourteen football matches from various Mexican and international leagues. Unlike Melate, the outcome doesn't come out of a drum: it comes from real pitches, played by real teams, over the weekend that round covers. Whoever predicts more scorelines correctly than the rest of that round's participants takes a share of the prize fund built up that week from all the tickets sold.
That has an important consequence for anyone comparing Progol to Melate: there is no fixed, published probability like Melate's 1 in 32,468,436, because Progol's outcome depends on real sporting events — injuries, a team's form, weather, refereeing decisions — not on a mechanical draw with a countable number of combinations. The schedule isn't fixed either: while Melate always draws Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday around 9:00 p.m., Progol follows the football league calendar, so each ticket's closing date shifts from week to week instead of always landing on the same days. We cover that full comparison, with more examples and nuance, in Melate vs Pronósticos Deportivos.
Where to check current results and rules for Progol Revancha
Our MelateBot live results page covers Melate, Melate Retro, Revancha, and Revanchita — the numbers draws — not Progol or its Revancha add-on. If what you need is which matches are in this week's Progol Revancha, what it costs to activate right now, or whether your ticket won after a round closed, there are two correct sources: the ticket itself, which normally prints the match list and the amount paid, and the official site of Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública, the body that runs the game and publishes each round's official results. MelateBot isn't affiliated with Pronósticos and we don't republish that information here, because it changes week to week and we'd rather not risk giving you a stale figure that wastes your time.
If what you actually wanted was Melate's Revancha
Given how easy it is to cross the two products in a search — Progol and Melate share an operator, share points of sale, and even share the same corner estanquillo — it's worth closing the loop for anyone who actually wanted Melate's Revancha. Here we can be specific, because this is ground MelateBot covers in depth.
Melate's Revancha literally reuses the same six numbers you chose for your Melate ticket: you don't fill out a separate form or pick a different combination. It draws the same night as Melate — Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday, around 9:00 p.m. — but as a completely independent ball drawing, with its own accumulated jackpot and, unlike Melate, without the bonus number that upgrades partial matches to a higher prize tier. Winning or not winning Melate has no effect on what you might win in Revancha, because they're two separate draws that only share the six-number combination you played. The full breakdown — how to activate it, what changes versus the main Melate draw, how to check each result separately — is in our guide to Melate, Revancha, and Revanchita, and if you're trying to decide whether the extra cost is worth paying, we break it down with numbers in is it worth activating Revancha and Revanchita?
And if you also activated Revanchita — the third sibling add-on, with its own drawing and its own jackpot — remember it's checked separately from the other two: three draws, three lists of winning numbers, no link between what comes out in one and what comes out in the others.
Frequently asked questions
What is Progol Revancha?
It's an additional, optional add-on to the Progol ticket: when you pay for your Clásico ticket, you can activate, for an extra cost, a second block of sports predictions that's settled against its own prize fund, independent of the Clásico's. It doesn't repeat your same predictions; it's an extra play on the same ticket.
Is Progol Revancha the same as Melate's Revancha?
No, even though they share a name and an operator. Melate's Revancha repeats your same six numbers in an independent ball draw. Progol's Revancha asks you for an additional sports prediction, on matches different from the Clásico's. One is pure chance repeated; the other is a sports prediction repeated.
Where can I see Progol Revancha results?
MelateBot doesn't cover Progol results: our results page is exclusive to Melate, Melate Retro, Revancha, and Revanchita. For Progol Revancha, check your printed ticket or the official site of Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública.
How much does it cost to play Revancha in Progol?
We deliberately don't state a figure here: Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública sets and adjusts that cost, and any number we published today could be outdated tomorrow. Confirm it at the point of sale when you buy your ticket, or on the official site.
Can I play Progol Revancha and Melate's Revancha on the same ticket?
No. They're different products, on different tickets, even when sold at the same point of sale. Progol Revancha is activated on your Progol ticket; Melate's Revancha is activated on your Melate ticket. Buying both at the same estanquillo doesn't make them the same game.
