My Prediction
Monterrey by 1Alright then, let's get down to business. Let's talk about Monterrey first. Between the sticks, they have Esteban Andrada who is outperforming the Urawa Red Diamonds' Shusaku Nishikawa with a 7.60 rating and a total of 7 saves. Nishikawa, watch out – you've got some competition here buddy.
But you know what they say, a match isn't won on saves alone. Let's check out the players on the field. For Monterrey, Sergio Ramos is tearing up the pitch with a 7.65 rating and remember he's already found the back of the net once. Óliver Torres and Stefan Medina follow closely with ratings of 7.10 and 7.00 respectively.
On the other hand, Urawa Red Diamonds have Takuro Kaneko who boasts a 7.30 rating (and a rather dismal 53.6% accurate pass percentage, but we'll talk about that later). Ryoma Watanabe, who's already proven his ability to score, and Yusuke Matsuo are striving hard with ratings of 7.00 and 6.90 respectively.
As for the tournament records, Monterrey currently stands at 0-2-0, still unbeaten, while Urawa Red Diamonds with a 0-0-2 record - well, better luck next time boys. And if we look at recent results, Monterrey has been holding their ground with two draws, as opposed to Urawa Red Diamonds who have unfortunately suffered two losses.
All things considered, you've got to feel Monterrey holds the upper hand here, whether you sip your tea with your pinkie out or not. They've got a strong goalkeeper, formidable players, an unbeaten record, and a streak of solid performances. So, let's go ahead and make this official, shall we?
