🗞️ Team News: Monterrey

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Monterrey gaffer Fernando Ortiz to contend with from a near full-strength group of players. Áxel Grijalva (Torn lateral knee ligament) will miss out.

In our view, Los Rayados should go for a 4-4-2 system with Esteban Andrada, Jordi Cortizo, Edson Gutiérrez, Sebastian Vegas, Gerardo Arteaga, M. Eduardo Meza, Luis Francisco Romo, Sergio Canales, Érick Aguirre, Germán Berterame and Jorge Rodriguez.

🗞️ Team News: CD Guadalajara

Thanks to a fully healthy group available to select from, the CD Guadalajara manager Fernando Gago has zero fitness worries whatsoever before this clash.

We are inclined to think that Chivas appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, going with José Rangel, Alan Mozo, Antonio Briseño, Leonardo Sepúlveda, Gilberto Sepúlveda, Isaac Brizuela, Fernando Beltrán, Víctor Guzmán, Cade Cowell, Javier Hernandez and Roberto Alvarado.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Monterrey should really get the goals that they need when they line up against CD Guadalajara, who will not find it easy to break down their defence.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 2-0 victory for Monterrey at full-time.
