Club Tijuana vs Monterrey Prediction

Five points and eight places separate Monterrey and Club Tijuana in the Liga MX Apertura table.

Club Tijuana are not in good form coming into this game, having won only one of their last five league fixtures. A lot will depend on Ecuador international Brayan Angulo as well as midfielders Marcel Ruiz and Mauro Lainez.

Monterrey, on the other hand, can count on the services of former Tottenham Hotspur striker and Netherlands international Vincent Janssen. However, Argentina international Rogelio Funes Mori looks set to lead the line, and has been a prolific goalscorer for Monterrey since joining the club.

Prediction: Club Tijuana 1-2 Monterrey
