Five-time CONCACAF Champions Cup winners Monterrey have an edge heading into the second leg round one clash against Comunicaciones at Estadio BBVA on Thursday.
La Pandilla tore down their opponents 4-1 in their backyard in the first leg of the fixture, but Los Cremas will also look for a spectacular turnaround as Ivan Sopegno's men aim to recreate a comeback in the 2022 quarter-finals at the tournament.
However, back then, despite beating New York City 4-2 in the second leg, Comunicaciones lost on away goals as the MLS side had won their away leg 3-1.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
