What They're Saying
Montreal Impact manager Frank Klopas (via the club's official website): "They are a team that's going to press and we want to take advantage of the space that it creates. We have to manage this game and be disciplined. Their wide players create a lot of chances, so we have to limit that and keep playing with confidence. No matter what happens, we have confidence that we can score goals."
Pachuca manager Diego Alonso (via Uniradio Informa): "The team has a good attitude. The players understand the idea. Tomorrow [Tuesday], we will be more vertical, aggressive and intense. We have to keep the shutout. That will give us confidence to go forward."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Hirving Lozano is one of the wide players Klopas must contain if he hopes to advance to the semifinals. In 19 appearances last season, the 19-year-old created 24 chances and finished with four goals. He'll look for more of the same in Montreal on Tuesday.
Montreal's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Bush; Cabrera, Ciman, Soumare, Toia; Donadel, Duka, Mapp, Piatti, Coker; Oduro
Pachuca's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Perez; Pizarro, Herrera, Mosquera, Ayoví; Gutierrez, De Buen; Lozano, Sornoza, Damm; Nahuelpan
