Atlanta United will seek its ticket to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League when they measured on Thursday night to Herediano, who has the advantage in the globalscore after taking the first leg 3-1 in Costa Rica.
The winner of tonight's match will have a tough showdown in the Quarterfinals, as Rayados of Monterrey, that yesterday beat Alianza by the minimum, wait for their rival, that comes out of this key.
Atlanta United
Atlanta United knows how to score goals, not for nothing was one of the best offensives of the MLS last tournament. However, they will not be able to play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, due to a 'Monster Truck' event.
Even so, is expected that people respond in search of the comeback of the team led by Frank De Boer, which could serve as an incentive for the debut of the season on Sunday against DC United.
AS to follow, Josef Mart¨ªnez: 'Pity' already showed some of his qualities in the first game, something useless if the Venezuelan striker is not great, much needed as he did last season, where he finished as the leading scorer of the tournament.
Herediano
Herediano has not started good their tournament in Costa Rica. They barely add 12 units and are set in tenth place in the standings after 10 games played.
However, they have an excellent advantage to play in the United States, and seek the ticket to the next phase, and why not dream of being able to win the title of Concacaf after that.
AS to follow, Esteban Cambronero: The goalkeeper of Herediano will have to be inspired if Herediano wants to advance to the next phase, as they face a powerful offensive, which can put the goalkeeper in serious trouble.
