Event Preview

The most significant club fixture on the continental calendar in North America is set for this weekend, as the CONCACAF Champions Cup will take place in Mexico City. Mexican teams have dominated the competition throughout its history, winning the title on 39 occasions in the tournament’s 63-year history.

Cruz Azul will be no strangers to the pressure of playing in the match, as they have their sights set on a sixth Champions Cup honor.

Their dominance in the competition this season has been reflected across the four rounds, accumulating an aggregate scoreline of 15-3. Their spot in the final was assured with a narrow win over Tigres UANL in the semi-finals. A player to consider is Angel Sepulveda, who is the Champions Cup top scorer with seven efforts.

However, the Vancouver Whitecaps will be aiming to do more than just make up the numbers in Mexico City, and they will be bidding to make franchise history. Their progression in the six months under Jesper Sorensen has been excellent, and he could be immortalized forever with a win on Sunday.

The Whitecaps have shown their battling traits throughout the competition, narrowly overcoming Mexican rivals CF Monterrey and Pumas UNAM in the round of 16 and quarterfinals. However, their best performance to this point arguably came in the semi-final stage, as they crushed Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami by a 5-1 aggregate scoreline.


Head-to-Head Record

This will be the first-ever competitive meeting between Cruz Azul and Vancouver. However, both sides have beaten rivals from their opponents’ league in the Champions Cup already this season.


Cruz Azul vs. Vancouver Whitecaps Picks

Vancouver’s date with destiny arrives on Sunday, and they will take huge confidence from their unbeaten sequence across all competitions. However, the fact that Cruz Azul have the experience of competing at this stage of the tournament is hard to ignore, and they could be streetwise enough to get over the line in Mexico City.
