CONCACAF's most relevant club competition enters its final stages after a long waiting period, and the intense activity will continue on Saturday with the games that will determine which sides are set to fight for the title and for the right to represent the area in the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup.
For the first time in quite a while, Liga MX sides have not secured a spot in the title clash, although they still have Tigres and América involved in the tournament. Liga MX teams have dominated the competition since 2005, but things don't seem to be as secure for any of these teams, who will face some tough opponents in their quest to reach the title match.
Both games will substitute the usual two-legged ties after CONCACAF determined a new format to end the competition after the break caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Let's have a look at both ties set to take place at Exploria Stadium in Orlando.
Tigres UANL VS Olimpia
The team from the North side of Mexico claimed their spot in the final four teams by beating NYCFC in emphatic fashion, and it seems that this time there will be no way to deny them from winning the crown. On the other side of the pitch, the surprising team from Honduras will try to reach their first title clash since the year 2000 after struggling to eliminate Montreal Impact earlier this week. The Central American side may yet end Tigres' hopes for glory, and it will be up to Ricardo Ferretti's men to exorcize their demons and reach the final.
