📰 Team News: Monterrey

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Monterrey gaffer Martín Demichelis to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Carlos Salcedo (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t play.

It seems likely that Los Rayados could employ a 4-3-3 formation for this one, utilising Esteban Andrada, Ricardo Chávez, Stefan Medina, V. Andrés Guzmán, Gerardo Arteaga, Nelson Deossa, Jorge Rodriguez, Iker Fimbres, Jesus Manuel Corona, Germán Berterame and Lucas Ariel Ocampos.

🗞️ Team News: Pachuca

There’s a good chance that Los Tuzos could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Carlos Moreno, Jorge Berlanga, Eduardo Bauermann, Alonso Aceves, Bryan González, Elías Montiel, Pedro Pedraza, Juan Sigala, John Kennedy, Oussama Idrissi and Salomon Rondon.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment is that Pachuca are likely to put one past this Monterrey lineup, although it may not be as many as they’ll concede.

Our selection here is for a 2-1 victory for Monterrey when all is said and done. It’s a very tough call.
