[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Monterrey welcomes Columbus Crew to Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, Mexico, Wednesday. Kickoff in the 2nd leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals is set for 10:15 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Monterrey vs. Columbus Crew odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

The Crew won the 1st of the 2-leg series 2-1 at home April 24. They ended with 2 more shots and 2 more shots on target, concluding with 55% of the possession as well. Columbus won the MLS Cup last season and sits 5th in the Eastern Conference this season, having totaled 15 points in 10 matches. F Cucho leads the way for the road side, having tallied 4 goals in 8 league games.

Monterrey took down Inter Miami a combined 5-2 in the quarterfinal and FC Cincinnati 3-1 in the Round of 16 to get to this point. Inter and FCC sit 1st and 2nd in the Eastern Conference, so Monterrey has beaten some of the top MLS sides. It has struggled as of late though, going 1-1-3 in its last 5 league matches. Monterrey added FC Cincinnati F Brandon Vazquez, who has netted 6 goals in 15 matches within his first few months with the team.

Monterrey vs. Columbus Crew picks and predictions

Prediction

Columbus Crew 1, Monterrey 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+340).

For the first time in really the entire CONCACAF Champions Cup, Monterrey was outplayed, and the Crew have a strong team with a solid formation that can break into the middle of the Monterrey lineup. M Diego Rossi and Cucho are very good at possessing and should be able to keep the dynamic Monterrey attack at bay.

Columbus has more corners, more possession and more shots. The Crew showed last season that, when the lights are the brightest, they play their best soccer, and that should continue Wednesday. With Monterrey struggling in league play and having been outplayed, also at the end of its season and potentially with tired legs, avoid Monterrey as a favorite.

Back DRAW (+340).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+102).

Both teams defend at a high level.

Monterey has allowed just 1 goal per game this season, while the Crew are allowing 0.9. The Crew have held 2 of their last 3 MLS opponents scoreless, and both of their quarterfinal matchups against Tigres went Under this total. All 4 of their Round of 16 or quarterfinal matchups went Under this total.

Monterrey is 3-1 O/U in its 4 Round of 16 or quarterfinal matchups, but the Crew, who should possess better than either of those sides, should be able to slow the Monterrey attack. Take UNDER 2.5 (+102).

Monterrey vs. Inter Miami CF odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Monterrey vs. Inter Miami CF odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Monterrey welcomes Inter Miami for the 2nd leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal Wednesday. Kickoff from Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, Mexico is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Monterrey vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Monterrey won 2-1 in the first leg, which was played in Fort Lauderdale April 3. Inter ended with just 8 shots on 2 on frame which didn’t compare well to Monterrey’s 21 and 8. F Lionel Messi did not play with a hamstring injury. He returned to MLS action this past week and is expected to start Wednesday.

Monterrey lost 2-1 on the road to Cruz Azul Saturday, and it has lost 2 straight Liga MX matches.

Inter drew the Colorado Rapids 2-2 Saturday and has drawn 2 straight MLS matches. Inter sits 3rd in the Eastern Conference in the MLS, while Monterrey is 3rd in the Liga MX’s Clausura.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Monterrey vs. Inter Miami CF picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Monterrey 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (+210).

It is hard to win on the road, but with the Monterrey coach calling one of the best players to ever play the sport a “possessed drawf,” there could be some extra motivation from Messi. Inter plays far better with Messi on the pitch, and that was even seen Saturday when he subbed on. Messi has tallied 4 goals in 4 MLS games, and Miami ended its game Saturday with 10 more shots.

While Monterrey has been among the better Liga MX sides, it has struggled recently. It did add F Brandon Vazquez from FC Cincinnati, but it doesn’t have a player with 10 or more goals, so its lack of star power could create issues against a team captained by Messi and F Luis Suarez.

Messi and Inter are going to come in with a chip on their shoulder, and given how they play with Messi, INTER MIAMI (+210) is worth a play.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-174).

The pace and the chances created make this a good value, but the odds aren’t quite justifiable for a full-unit play. Monterrey notched 21 shots while Inter totaled just 8.

Miami, as noted, should get a boost from the presence of Messi, and the offense should click early and often. Inter has 10 goals in the 4 MLS games Messi has played.

Monterrey has scored 2 or more goals in 4 of its last 7 games as well.

Both offenses have proven themselves, and they should continue to. Take OVER 2.5 (-174) for a small unit.

Inter Miami CF vs. Monterrey odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Inter Miami CF vs. Monterrey odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami and Monterrey battle in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal Wednesday. Kickoff from Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for the 1st leg is set for 8 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Monterrey odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Inter Miami, which is among the best teams in the MLS, has struggled without F Lionel Messi, who has missed games with a hamstring injury. Messi could play in this game as he has returned to training. Messi is the team’s most dynamic offensive player. That said, Inter drew NYCFC in MLS action 1-1 Saturday, and they beat Nashville SC 5-3 on aggregate in the Round of 16 with the 2nd leg being played on March 13.

Monterrey sits 2nd on the Liga MX table through 13 matches, having won 8, drawn 4 and lost 1. It has a +13 goal differential in those matches, scoring 23 and allowing 10. Monterrey beat the reigning Supporters Shield champions FC Cincinnati in the Round of 16, taking Cincinnati down 3-1 on aggregate and winning 1-0 on the road in the 1st leg. Monterrey’s F Brandon Vazquez, who played for Cincinnati in 2023, scored 2 goals in the 2 legs.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Inter Miami CF vs. Monterrey picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Monterrey 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (-105).

Inter Miami is a far better team both at home and with Messi on the pitch. They throttled Nashville SC in the 2nd leg at home, winning 3-1 and being up 3-0 heading into the 90th minute. Messi has tallied 3 goals and 1 assist in 3 MLS games. Inter was 2-1-0 in those games, beating opponents a combined 8-1.

While Monterrey is a strong and proven side, it really didn’t showcase much on the road against FC Cincinnati, ending with 44% possession and 4 fewer shots. A team with Messi should be far more difficult to possession and break down.

Expect the home side to come out on top. At this value, back INTER MIAMI (-105).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-154).

Monterrey took one of the MLS’s best scorers and put him on its team. It scored on Cincinnati in both matches. Cincinnati has one of the best defenses in the MLS while Inter has allowed 6 goals in its last 3 MLS matches.

However, in both its CONCACAF Champions Cup battles, Miami has tallied at least 2 goals and netted a total of 5 on Nashville through the 2 matches. It has scored 8 goals in the 3 MLS games Messi has played on top of those matches against Nashville.

The price is steep, making this just a lean, but with the above in mind, take OVER 2.5 (-154).

The Seattle Sounders (0 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcome Monterrey (1-0-0) to Lumen Field Sunday. Kickoff in the final Group B Leagues Cup match is set for 9 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Seattle Sounders vs. Monterrey odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Seattle Sounders vs. Monterrey picks and predictions

Prediction

Seattle Sounders 1, Monterrey 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET SEATTLE SOUNDERS (+150).

The Sounders have been strong at home in MLS action. They should start F Jordan Morris instead of bringing him off the bench and expect action from top M Nicolas Lodeiro. Both players should have a tremendous impact on the outcome.

Also, RSL had more shots yet couldn’t finish against Monterrey. The chances were there though, and Seattle is trailing RSL on the Western Conference table by 1 point. It has been just as good as RSL and should have a much improved showing Sunday.

Monterrey also could have some tired legs, having played Wednesday against RSL. It also doesn’t need to win here. It will still win the group with a loss that’s less than 3 goals which should aid its urgency.

Take SEATTLE SOUNDERS (+150).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-116).

Monterrey had tremendous finishing against RSL, scoring 3 goals on just 5 shots on goal. That likely won’t be repeated, especially against a Seattle team that has allowed 2 goals in its last 6 home matches.

Seattle has gone Under this total in 9 of 13 home matches this season and has a defense that is allowing just 0.96 goals per game. Its offense hasn’t been much better, scoring just 2 goals in its last 5 home matches. Seattle had just 1 shot on goal against RSL despite F Raul Ruidaz playing all 90 and RSL getting a red card in the 60th.

Seattle has been bad in the final third offensively and continues its strong defense play. Considering how Monterrey played RSL as well, back limited chances for both sides and the UNDER 2.5 (-116).
