Charlotte FC performed exceptionally well in the group stage, finishing as the leader, displaying good football, and managing the game effectively. On the other hand, Cruz Azul barely made it to the knockout stage and continues to struggle with the same problem as the previous season - their lack of scoring ability. This makes the MLS team the favorite, although we know that anything can happen.
