Player to watch: Cucho Hernandez

Thrilling Cucho is the player to watch in our Monterrey vs Columbus Crew prediction, as coach Nancy will rely on him to be the difference-maker at Estadio BBVA. Cucho Hernandez was the best finisher for the Crew during the 2023 Major League Soccer campaign, so he is definitely going to be among the starters for the visitors.

Keep Hernandez quiet – win your game

If coach Fernando Ortiz manages to find a way to nullify Cucho Hernandez, surely Monterrey will be able to beat the Crew at home. Whenever Cucho doesn’t perform well, the Crew suffer.
