We envisage that Cruz Azul can and should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
At the other end, Vancouver Whitecaps are also probably going to find it difficult to score themselves but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring here as well.
Our tip is for a decent 3-1 margin for Cruz Azul by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
