Urawa Reds vs Monterrey prediction
The Urawa Red Diamonds have declined since they ensured their qualification for the FIFA Club World Cup a couple of years ago. They began their campaign with a 3-1 defeat to River Plate that perhaps flattered them in their opener before then taking the lead against Internazionale but eventually going on to lose by two goals to one.
They now face a Monterrey side that have been difficult to play against in their opening couple of games. They shared a 1-1 draw in their opener against the aforementioned Inter before the Mexicans then shared a hard-fought and quite entertaining goalless draw with River Plate the other day.
The Urawa Reds have been competitive thus far but it would still be the more sensible bet to side with Monterrey for this one in their final group stage clash.
