CF Monterrey Team News
Monterrey kicked off their Leagues Cup campaign with a five-goal thriller, as they suffered a 2-3 defeat to Cincinnati in a match where they mostly lacked consistency in defence and midfield.
Following the loss, the team sit 11th in the Group B table. They have a relatively tough schedule ahead, so they can’t afford to drop more points.
In the upcoming clash, Monterrey will be without injured players Esteban Andrada, Nelson Deossa, and Carlos Salcedo. However, we expect former Sevilla player Lucas Ocampos to start this time.
CF Monterrey predicted lineup vs New York Red Bulls (4-5-1): Cardenas; Medina, Guzman, Ramos, Arteaga; Ocampos, Aguirre, Ambriz, Torres, Canales; Berterame.
New York Red Bulls Team News
The New York Red Bulls have snatched a late victory against Guadalajara Chivas, with Emil Forsberg’s 97th-minute strike breaking what was shaping up to be a goalless draw and securing a crucial win.
It was largely a defensive performance on both sides. The match produced a combined 1.21 xG, showing that neither team were willing to take too many risks going forward. In the end, it was New York who were lucky enough to grab all three points.
Since the Red Bulls benched Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Emil Forsberg in their last outing, we expect them both to start this time. Cameron Harper and Lewis Morgan, however, won’t be available due to injury.
New York Red Bulls predicted lineup vs CF Monterrey (4-2-3-1): Marcucci; Edwards, Parker, S. Nealis, D. Nealis; Donkor, Stroud; Sofo, Forsberg, Mosquera; Choupo-Moting.

CF Monterrey vs New York Red Bulls Prediction, Odds
- Pick: New York Red Bulls or Draw
- Correct score prediction: CF Monterrey 1-1 New York Red Bulls
Despite rotating their lineup against Guadalajara, the Red Bulls still managed to grab a victory. The team looked organized, especially in defence, where they effectively thwarted their opponents’ attacks
Monterrey were far from their best in their last outing, and beating an in-form New York side won’t be easy. While the MLS club have had their struggles in the domestic league, they appear to be more determined to achieve results in this tournament.
We expect a tough, physical battle in every part of the field. Monterrey will likely push forward, but they can’t afford to leave gaps at the back.
CF Monterrey vs New York Red Bulls Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
While the sides are likely to take a cautious approach, we still expect to see goals on both ends. Monterrey have averaged 1.33 goals scored and conceded per Liga MX match this season. New York, meanwhile, have netted 1.56 goals per game and allowed 1.44 in MLS.
The Red Bulls’ manager, Sandro Schwarz, also rested the club’s key players against Guadalajara, and with them back in the starting eleven, the squad should have more attacking threat.
Given the teams’ capabilities, we believe that it will be an exciting affair.
