Montreal vs Santos Laguna prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 CONCACAF Champions League

Montreal entertain Santos Laguna at Montreal Olympic Stadium in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League round of 16 fixture on Tuesday.

The first leg tie between the two sides ended in a 1-0 win for the Liga MX side at Estadio Nuevo Corona last week.

The visiting side have endured a poor start to their league campaign and are the only side without a win in Liga MX. So, the win in the first leg was quite surprising.

The hosts get their MLS 2022 campaign underway next week, so will be hoping to head into that game on a winning note.

Montreal vs Santos Laguna Prediction

Montreal's lack of regular playtime in 2022 proved to be their undoing in the first leg. The visiting side have conceded 13 goals in six league games so far and might struggle to keep a clean sheet again.

Montreal will be hoping for a better outing in their home game as they recorded two shots on goal in the first leg. Taking the form of both sides into consideration, a low-scoring draw seems to be the likely outcome here.

Prediction: Montreal 1-1 Santos Laguna
