Monterrey will be hoping to get the necessary first step en route to a matchup against Champions Leagues winner Liverpool when they face the hosts Al Sadd in the second roumd matchup of the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup. Al Sadd, coached by Spanish great Xavi Hernandez, already played their first match, a disappointing extra time win against amateur team Hienghene Sport. While Al Sadd are at home, they aren’t favored against Monterrey. Monterrey will need to go at it prepared, something they failed to do whent hey went out against hosts Raja Casablanca in 2013.
