THE PREDICTION

Monterrey travel to Estadio Azteca with a narrow one-goal advantage over Cruz Azul in this all-Mexican CONCACAF Champions League semi-final second leg. Since the first leg, both sides have picked up just one victory domestically, with each heading into this match winless in their last four games. The onus is on Cruz Azul to take the fight to Monterrey with the hosts needing to score at least once to get themselves back into this tie. These two are very evenly matched with only a point separating them in the Liga MX table and the expectation is that another close contest is in prospect here. With that in mind, backing under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes looks a smart play.
