THE PREDICTION

A 4-0 hammering of Necaxa last weekend made it back-to-back clean sheets at the start of the Clausura campaign for Monterrey. The hosts won the CONCACAF Champions League last year and their involvement in that competition hampered their Liga MX form as they finished in the middle-of-the-table. The FIFA Club World Cup takes place in February and that could act as a distraction so early performances and results will prove crucial to the home team. They now come up against a Cruz Azul side that come into this on the back of their own impressive start to the Clausura. They were hammered 4-1 by Monterrey in November but have started this stage of the season with back-to-back wins to nil against Tijuana and Juarez. A draw would appear the likeliest outcome for this one.
