📋 Team News: Mazatlán

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Mazatlán manager Ismael Rescalvo to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Lucas Merolla (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

We are thinking that Mazatlán will possibly line up in a 4-3-3 system this time featuring Hugo Gonzalez, J. Antonio Madueña, Facundo Almada, Ventura Alvarado, Jair Diaz, Andrés Montaño, Josué Colmán, Sergio Flores, Edgar Yoel Bárcenas, Gustavo Del Prete and Luis Amarilla.

🗞️ Team News: Club Tijuana

Due to a completely healthy squad to choose from, the Club Tijuana manager Miguel Herrera has no fitness concerns to report ahead of this game.

We are inclined to think that Xoloitzcuintles appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-1-1 formation with a starting lineup of J. Antonio Rodriguez, Diego Barbosa, Kevin Balanta, Alejandro Gómez, Aarón Mejía, Joe Corona, Fernando Madrigal, Christian Rivera, Efrain Álvarez, Domingo Blanco and Carlos González.

Our thinking is that Club Tijuana have it in them to put a goal past this Mazatlán side, but it may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
