[Tips]:
Both sides have confirmed to miss the knockout stage and will focus on the subsequent league matches, so they may not field multiple starters for this game.
In the previous two Cup games, the two teams showed unbalanced offense and defense.
Charlotte FC have been eliminated early, so they will not place too much emphasis on this match.
The AH line is -0.5 for Monterrey in this game, indicating higher support for the home team.
Thus, Monterrey are expected to win this match.

Monterrey (-0.5)
