Why this pick?

Monterrey are the pick because our model rates them the stronger side, with Querétaro FC sitting below the Liga MX average. The obvious counterweight is that Querétaro play at home, and the trip takes Monterrey to the altitude of the Estadio Corregidora. The call survives because the gap in attacking quality is wide — Monterrey's attack rating stands at 82, Querétaro's at 6 — and because Querétaro's last five matches have all ended in defeat, with the chances they concede over that run clearly above the league average. Monterrey have also won 19 of the 32 meetings since 2010. Narrow, but it holds.
