From our viewpoint, Guerreros will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Carlos Acevedo Lopez, José Javier Abella, Kevin Balanta, Óscar Haret Ortega, Bruno Amione, Javier Güemez, Aldo López Vargas, Cristian Dájome, Fran Villalba, Kevin Palacios and Jesús Ocejo.
✨ Prediction
Our feeling is that Monterrey have it within them to dominate possession and create several successful chances.
Conversely, Santos Laguna could well struggle to get shooting opportunities - but, we do see them converting at least once as well.
Therefore, we are anticipating a comfortable 3-1 win for Monterrey at full-time.
