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 Arcahaie. Game on!
The hosts Cruz saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Liga MX. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Arcahaie have had more rest.
Cruz Azul form and stats
Cruz was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the CONCACAF Champions League.Home games in the Liga MX have been a walk in the park for Cruz Azul so far, with 18 points won from 7 matches; 6 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. Cruz has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Puebla defeat 87 days ago. Cruz has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here. We remember; it was Puebla.
Cruz's previous game was a Liga MX match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Guadalajara. The home side are looking to build on that result. 0-0 away at Arcahaie before that.
The manager J. Reynoso Guzmán will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to America in only four days.
Cruz have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 13 goals in 7 league matches. From these home matches, Cruz have conceded only 6 goals.
Arcahaie form and stats
