This time a Champions League game from Concacaf zone. North America that being. The hosts are a top clubs from Mexico. Last round they won 2-0 at Forge from Canada, and 3-0 here at home, so simple task for them. The first leg in Canada at Vancouver Whitecaps, a side playing in MLS unlike Forge, was tricky for Monterrey who opened the scoring from the first half, had to face a lot of shots, and eventually conceded late to only draw 1-1 in the end.
Now, they are really much better here at home, really attacking minded and high scoring team at home even in the league in Mexico. 4-2 win with Santos Laguna, 3-1 win with Atl. San Luis, 3-2 loss with Pachuca being some recent results from them here at home venue. Vancouver won all 3 games in the MLS. They defeated Portland 4-1 on the road, winning 2-1 with Galaxy and 2-0 with Montreal at home. Both are likely to be scoring in this fixture, now Monterrey should be far more attacking minded than in the first leg, and it is quite a long trip from Canada to Mexico, as I back over 5 goals at lowered odds already. Odds being excellent.
