Monterrey will host Cruz Azul at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer this Saturday, March 30, 2019 (8:00 PM Pacific) for a match in Week 12 of the Liga MX 2019 Clausura tournament.
One of the most enticing matchups in Week 12 of the Liga MX 2019 Clausura will be the clash between Monterrey and Cruz Azul. Both teams have very talented rosters and are heavy playoff contenders in Mexico’s top-flight division this season, making this a very attractive encounter.
Monterrey is currently in third place with 22 points and has one of the best teams in the continent. Here is how Diego Alonso could set up his team: Marcelo Barovero, Jesus Gallardo, Cesar Montes, Nicolas Sanchez, Miguel Layun, Celso Ortiz, Carlos Rodriguez, Dorlan Pabon, Rodolfo Pizarro, Aviles Hurtado, Rogelio Funes Mori.
Both Funes Mori and Carlos Rodriguez were benched in the match against Club Tijuana last week, but both could be reappearing in this match. Monterrey has a plethora of options as players like Leonel Vangioni, Jonathan Gonzalez and Maximiliano Meza could feature in this match.
Cruz Azul has injuries to several key players like Jonathan Rodriguez and Elias Hernandez, but has been doing well in recent weeks. The Mexico City team is currently on a three-game winning streak in league play and is sitting in seventh place with 18 points.
Here is how Pedro Caixinha could setup his team against Rayados: Jesus Corona, Igor Lichnovsky, Julio Cesar Dominguez, Adrian Aldrete, Jose Maduena, Yoshimar Yotun, Javier Salas, Rafael Baca, Orbelin Pineda, Roberto Alvarado, Milton Caraglio.
Caixinha will be without star centre-back Pablo Aguilar, which could make a significant impact on the team. Igor Lichnovsky will most likely step in his place and the Portuguese manager will likely use either Jose Maduena or Yoshimar Yotun as a fullback.
