Xelaju vs Monterrey prediction

Xelaju will be hoping to emulate their best performance in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, which came in their most recent qualification as they reached the quarter-finals of the 2012/13 campaign, under the management of Roberto Hernandez.

They now face a Monterrey side that, coached by former Galatasaray boss Domenec Torrent, boast a star studded squad that consists of the likes of Oliver Torres, Sergio Canales, Jesus Manuel Corona and Lucas Ocampos.

This one does appear to be a bit of a massive mis-match on paper and Monterrey will be expected to win both legs of this first round quite comfortably.
