Monterrey Will Look To Build on Their Decent Form However, this time Seattle Sounders nabbed a surprise 1-0 win in Monterrey’s backyard before faltering at home to lose 2-1. The next two encounters came in the very next edition of the same competition. Aldo De Nigris managed to get on the scoresheet in both games. Monterrey won the away fixture 2-0 before winning the home leg 3-2. The two teams met twice in the group stage of the 2010 CONCACAF Champions League. Monterrey have the better record as they have won three of those games, leaving Seattle Sounders with a solitary victory. This will be the fifth encounter between Monterrey and Seattle Sounders, as the two sides have met each other four times in the CONCACAF Champions League. That pressure coupled with Monterrey’s overall team strength could be too much to handle for the MLS side.
However, the pressure is on the Seattle Sounders, who have to win by a big margin if they want to qualify. The encounter between these two strong sides will be quite unpredictable. They are currently fourth in the Western Conference, having won 10 of their 24 games and accumulating 36 points. In the current MLS season, the club have made a decent recovery and could be title contenders. The Washington side ended the 2022 season with poor away form, failing to win any of their last nine away matches. In contrast, Seattle Sounders’ journey in the MLS last year was not enjoyable, as they failed to make the MLS Cup playoffs for the first time, snapping their 13-year streak. As things stand, they are second in the standings. The 2023-24 Apertura season has commenced recently, and Monterrey are in great form so far, winning two of their three games, and drawing the third. They were in the playoffs during the Apertura phase as well, but once again failed to lift the trophy. However, the club lost in the playoff semifinals against their rivals Tigres UANL.
They finished the league stage at the top of the table, winning 13 of their 17 league stage matches. Monterrey looked quite sharp in the last Clausura phase of Liga MX. Monterrey vs Seattle Sounders Predictions
