1. CF Monterrey - As good as this group is, Monterrey's quality and organization should see them finish first rather comfortably.
2. Seattle Sounders - If Seattle answers the call of their fans to go after CCL glory with everything they have, they should be able to squeeze ahead of Marathon and Saprissa thanks to their defensive strength.
3. CD Marathon - Their experience, pride, and strength at home make them formidable, but it looks like they've let one too many big players go without an adequate replacement to go through for a third straight time.
4. Deportivo Saprissa - They won't be easy to beat by any means, but with a roster that relies on old timers and a coach with only a few months under his belt, this group looks like a bridge too far.
