As a defensive unit, Santos Laguna may have hit form at precisely the wrong time for CF Montreal.
After a particularly ropy start to the LigaMX Clausura during which new coach Pedro Caixinha has shuffled and re-shuffled his pieces, Santos has not conceded in its last two games.
But for insurance in this evening’s CCL 2nd Leg meeting (8 p.m., OneSoccer, TSN Radio 690, 91.9 Sports), they’ll still be keen to nick a goal at Montreal’s Stade Olympique.
If the Mexicans can breach the CFM rearguard even once, then Wilfried Nancy’s men will need three to progress - and that’s something they’ve never done at home in the knock-out stages of this competition.
