Monterrey struck first in their playoff series against América, winning the first leg 2-0. The return leg will be played at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes on Saturday, with América favored to win at odds of -185.
Monterrey certainly looked strong in the first leg; they nearly scored in the second minute with a header that Malagón cleared off the line. The score remained 0-0 throughout the first half, and just before halftime, Sergio Canales, the difference-maker, unleashed a powerful, low shot from outside the box to put Monterrey ahead.
After Brian Rodríguez of América missed a one-on-one opportunity, Monterrey escaped. Minutes later, Sergio Canales delivered a corner kick cross that resulted in a goal. Ambríz tapped it in, sealing the 2-0 victory.
Monterrey employed a crowded midfield with five players, a clear strategy that paid off by disrupting América in the area of the pitch they control best. In Monterrey's defense, the legendary Sergio Ramos had a stellar game.

Our CF America vs Monterrey Prediction
The tactical battle between Monterrey's Catalan coach and América's Brazilian coach was undoubtedly won by the former. For Monterrey, the expected attacking option on Saturday is Frenchman Anthony Martial, supported by the dangerous trio of Beteramo, Canales, and Tecatito.
Monterrey hosted the last four times they faced America, and although America won their last two encounters in the Mexican capital, it was by the identical score of 2-1, the same score that Monterrey needs on Saturday to eliminate the most successful team in Mexico.
Our prediction for America vs Monterrey is: Monterrey to win or draw.
