Couch Hugo Broos did not mince his words as he admitted that the game would be a tough match.
Despite this, he said the boys have to win, which means looking at what strategy will work best.
"We need to ask ourselves, are we going for 100% in the beginning and maybe receive a goal, or are we going for the easy way in the beginning of the game. This is difficult to choose," Broos said.
Kick-off time at the Estadio Monterrey is at 3am on Thursday.
