Team News: Atlas
Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Atlas manager Beñat San José to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Mauro Manotas (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t play.
We think that Los Zorros may well make use of the 4-3-3 formation for the game, handing starts to Camilo Vargas, Carlos Robles, José Lozano, Idekel Domínguez, Hugo Nervo, Victor Rios, Raymundo Fulgencio, Á. Jeremy Márquez, Eduardo Aguirre, Jhon Murillo and M. Ezequiel Garcia.
ℹ️
Team News: CD Guadalajara
With a completely healthy group available to choose from, the CD Guadalajara boss Fernando Gago doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this clash.
It’s our belief that Chivas seem likely to utilise a 4-4-2 formation using José Rangel, Jesús Orozco, Gilberto Sepúlveda, José Castillo, Alan Mozo, Fernando Beltrán, Isaac Brizuela, Érick Gutiérrez, Pavel Uriel Pérez, Ricardo Marín and Roberto Alvarado.
