National Premier League runners-up Waterhouse FC and HS Herediano of Costa Rica will take centre stage at National Stadium today as the Scotiabank Concacaf League gets going at 5:00 pm.
Game one of the two-leg tie is viewed as crucial to the ambitions of both clubs who are hoping to advance to the next round of the competition.
The game comes for Waterhouse just ahead of the start of the local premier league and so their fitness levels may come into question.
HS Herediano are in the middle of their season and are in a rich vein of form, with back-to-back victories, including a 2-0 win over Guadalupe in their last game in Primera Division on Saturday. They sit third in their local league and will come to Jamaica full of confidence.
Costa Rican club teams are known for their physicality, tactical discipline and speed of play and will pose quite a challenge for the Drewsland-based team.
Waterhouse will be playing their first game since the heartbreaking loss to Portmore United in the final of the Red Stripe Premier League in April.
Waterhouse Head Coach Marcel Gayle says his charges are mentally ready for this huge encounter.
