REF’s picks

Monterrey arrive with superior attacking depth and a strong historical upper hand over Puebla, making them a solid choice to take all three points here. Although they are playing away at Estadio Cuauhtémoc, Rayados have enough quality in forward areas to break down a stubborn Puebla defence.

1. 1Monterrey have dominated the recent head-to-head fixtures, winning four of their last five meetings.
2. 2Puebla have struggled for fluency in the final third recently, failing to score in three of their last five outings.
3. 3Rayados can occasionally look vulnerable defensively on the road, which could allow Puebla to find a way through.
