• Monterrey lean hardest on Esteban Andrada (9.5), Oliver Torres (9.4), Ricardo Chavez (9.4) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

• The read: Everything here points at a tight, low-tempo game. The draw at 3.4 is the selection the numbers keep coming back to, and the unders are the natural second look.
