by Stephen Abiola | in Soccer Picks

The Black & Gold drew 1-1 with Liga MX giants UANL Tigres in the quarters to book their semis spot against Monterrey.

Columbus Crew - Monterrey: Form Analysis
Columbus Crew will be looking to pick up their first win against this Mexican side on Wednesday night. These teams have played three times, with Monterey winning their last matchup in 2021 3-0. Both matches ended with 3.5 goals, which tells a lot about the intensity of this matchup. For Columbus Crew, reaching the semis of this tournament is an overachievement. If they beat Monterrey, they’ll definitely be the favorites to lift the cup. As the favorites, the pressure is on Monterrey to advance to the finals. Of course, this might work in favor of the Crew. This Mexican side easily took care of the star-studded Herons, so it’s up to the Crew to ensure the tie isn’t over in the first leg. But Monterrey isn’t invincible. This side is now four games without a win in the league, and their defense has been leaking goals in their last nine consecutive matches. However, they have been good on the road, losing only two of their last seven trips.
