Monterrey vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction and Betting Tips | March 12th 2025
Monterrey play host to Vancouver Whitecaps in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup round-of-16 clash on Wednesday. With last week’s reverse leg ending all square, a place in the quarter-finals will be on the line and this makes for an exciting matchup at the Estadio Corona.
Monterrey were involved in a share of the spoils for the second consecutive game as they played out a 1-1 draw with Cruz Azul in their Mexican Liga MX clash at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario last Sunday.
Before that, Martín Demichelis’ men were held to a 1-1 draw by Monterrey in the first leg of their Champions Cup last-16 clash on March 5 after conceding an 86th-minute equaliser.
Having brushed aside Canadian outfit Forge FC 5-0 on aggregate in the opening round, Monterrey will be backing themselves to reach the quarter-finals of the continental showpiece on Wednesday as they return home, where they are on a four-game winning streak.
Over in Major League Soccer, Vancouver Whitecaps maintained their impressive start to the 2025 campaign as they secured a 2-0 victory over CF Montreal last time out.
Jesper Sorensen’s men have won each of their opening three league games this season, scoring eight goals and conceding twice so far — they are one of just two sides with a 100% league record.
The Whitecaps now return to action in the Champions Cup, where they picked up a hard-fought 3-2 aggregate victory over Costa Rican outfit Deportivo Saprissa in the opening round before holding out for a draw in last week’s tie against Monterrey.
