Finally found some info about Cruz Azul and their line-up for tonight. Don't know how reliable the info is, but apparently, they wll be sending on the field most of their regulars, and their squad looks much better than against Toronto. Torrado, Gimenez and Orozco should start the match. After one of their poorest performances I've ever seen (in the first half against the Canadians, they were nowhere to be found, and their defense seemed on drugs), they woke up a bit after some changes in the second half, and slowly started to take control of the match, but didn't do enough to secure at least a point. Now, they should be out in attack blazing, from the first minute, as with all the other teams having 3 points, anything but a win tonight could complicate the group a lot.
RSL is also reported to be using their strongest squad available, but I have my doubts regarding that, as after this match they will have to travel all the way to Canada, for an important match against Toronto on the weekend. So we may see some reserves on the field, but even if they go with their best team, they still have the second chance in this match. It's just a question of handicap, but with the market on the -1, I'll take it, as I don't think the time has come when a MLS team can win in Mexico. And with Cruz Azul probably learning from their mistake, I see them making a solid performance here. Small stakes only because of the questionable reliability of the line-up source. GL!
Cruz Azul (-1 AH) @ 1.98, Sbobet, 4/10
Result: 5-4, VOID
