Austin FC host Mexican side CF Monterrey on Tuesday in their second group game of the 2024 Leagues Cup at the Q2 Stadium with an opportunity to secure a place in the knockout stage.
With a win or draw — which includes a loss in penalties — the Verde & Black will qualify for the round of 32.
Monterrey, meanwhile, continued excellent early-season form in the Liga MX as they picked up a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Queretaro at the Estadio BBVA last Sunday.
Having picked up three wins from their opening four Liga MX games, Fernando Ortiz's troops now turn their focus to the Leagues Cup, where they will be looking to improve on their fourth-place finish from last season.

Team news & squads
Monterrey team news
German Berterame, who scored four goals in 10 league appearances last season, found the net against Queretaro to kick off his scoring for the current campaign. The 25-year-old is expected to spearhead Monterrey's attack once more.
He is likely to form an attacking quartet alongside Jordi Cortizo, Canales, and Argentine forward Maximiliano Meza. Meanwhile, we anticipate that the center-back pairing of Victor Guzman and veteran defender Hector Moreno will remain unchanged for their second consecutive match.
New signing Oliver Torres has yet to appear for Los Albiazules as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury, ruling him out of contention for Tuesday's game.
Monterrey possible XI: Andrada; Medina, Guzman, Moreno, Arteaga; Rodriguez, Ochoa; Meza, Canales, Cortizo; Berterame
Position | Players |
---|---|
Goalkeepers: | Andrada, Cárdenas, Ramos |
Defenders: | Arteaga, Medina, Moreno, Vegas, Guzmán, Leone, Aguirre, Bustos, Gutiérrez, Grijalva |
Midfielders: | Corona, Canales, Torres, Meza, Rojas, Cortizo, Rodríguez, Ramírez |

Defensively, we anticipate an unchanged back four from Saturday's match, with Guilherme Biro, Matt Hedges, Brendan Hines-Ike and Mikkel Desler all retaining their starting positions.
