There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League 8th Finals meeting between Cruz Azul and Portmore United. Game on!
The hosts Cruz Azul saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Liga MX. Thankfully the previous game, versus Tigres UANL, was also a home game here at Estadio Azteca. The away team is better rested.

There will be little rest for Cruz Azul after this match as they are travelling to Morelia for a Liga MX game in only three days.

Portmore United form and stats
The visitors are W6-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. The fact that Portmore United have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Portmore United are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
The manager R. Gardner was unhappy after their last game, a CONCACAF Champions League match played at their home ground Prison Oval. Portmore United suffered a 1-2 loss to Cruz Azul. Prior to that result Portmore United won their away game at Dunbeholden in the Premier League. The scoreline was 4-1.
Portmore United were so close to getting something from the game against Cruz Azul, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal nine minutes into overtime.
Portmore United find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 15 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Portmore United have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
