The Liga MX Apertura is coming to an end as Club Unidos and CF Monterrey will face off with the bluebird in the series. If they hadn’t topped the table before the playoffs began, these are two of the most slick aspects of navigating the playoffs with 20 Liga MX titles between them.
Membership The United States has a record of 15, but in recent years Monterrey has grown as a driver. Now they will have a local leg and another to see who will accelerate this flow model and there could be American participation. Alex Zendejas scored for the United States in his latest form. Brandon Vázquez came off the bench to do the same for Monterrey.
Here are our stories, how the adjustment and extra will attend:

How they gave them to you right here
Monterrey: By winning a seeded field in the playoffs and then finishing fifth, Rayados has continued to let the whites of his suits fly until he placed six over Pumas and six more over San Luis on the way to reaching the general classification. Defense may be a priority by allowing six goals, but this is one of the most threatening attacks in Liga MX led by German Berterame but there are contributions throughout the squad.
United States Membership: They have outscored Monterrey, allowing just three goals in the playoffs so far, but all of those goals came from league leader Cruz Azul in a wild 4-3 victory that saw two players eliminated. A year later, Rodrigo Aguirre’s insignificant 94th penalty saved the deadlock in the match.
Arguments
Monterrey: Facing the tough defense of the United States, it will be an anticipation to see how successful Monterrey’s attack is. If a group does not reach the general classification by way of a coup, what is at stake is another when it comes to the most beaten group in Mexico. Not being able to accumulate blank sheets will make the Monterrey process more difficult, but that still makes for a pretty watchable finale.
Monterrey predicted XI: Luis Cárdenas, Stefan Medina, Héctor Moreno, Gerardo Arteaga, Sergio Canales, Oliver Torres, Jorge Rodríguez, Iker Jareth Fimbres Ochoa, Lucas Ocampos, Roberto de la Rosa, Germán Berterame
United States Membership: Aguirre will have scored the winning goal to defeat Cruz Azul, but then, receiving the red card, André Jardine will have to decide what to do without one of his forwards being available. It will give more power to Henry Martin and Zendejas, but if this sport in general is similar, intensity off the bench could be vital.
United States Membership Predicted XI: Luis Malagón, Cristian Borja, Sebastián Cáceres, Ramón Juárez Del Castillo, Israel Reyes, Álvaro Fidalgo, Jonathan dos Santos, Richard Sánchez, Henry Martín, Alex Zendejas
Prediction
It will be a first leg that will leave us needing more, which is perfect since those teams will play again on Sunday to decide the overall. Select: Membership United States 2, Monterrey 2
