It's game one of two in the CONCACAF Champions League as Columbus Crew host Monterrey. This is a Quarter-finals fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga MX. That game, against Tigres UANL, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Monterrey.
Columbus Crew form and stats
Overall Major League Soccer stats at home this season for Columbus Crew are 0-1-0 (wins-draw-losses).
Nothing to worry about in defence for Columbus, as their goalkeeper Eloy Room has completely shut out the opponents for 360 minutes in the Major League Soccer.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Philadelphia Union in the Major League Soccer last time out and are looking for a win here. Ahead of that match, Columbus won a home game hosting Real Esteli (1-0).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Columbus Crew as they are travelling to their away game against Montreal Impact in the Major League Soccer. That match is three days after this one.
Columbus Crew has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Monterrey form and stats
They also participated in CONCACAF Champions League last season. This ended in the finals.3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Monterrey playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season. Recent form does not give Monterrey much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Columbus Crew will be a tough nut to crack.
Monterrey are travelling again after losing away to Tigres UANL in their previous match (1-2). The game before that, in the Liga MX, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Guadalajara.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Mazatlan in just three days.
The travelling fans enjoy Monterrey's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 8 league matches away. Monterrey are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
