Goalkeeper: Luis Malagón – After five days in the league, the goalkeeper has barely conceded a goal, so he hopes to continue his good moment under the three posts in the continental competition.

Defense: Ramón Juárez – As he barely had minutes when he came on as a substitute in the league match, the center back could be considered to start, and he also has the complete confidence of the Brazilian strategist André Jardine.

Defense: Israel Reyes – The same as Ramón. Perhaps the helmsman thinks it is better to give the Chilean a rest Igor Lichnovsky and the Uruguayan Sebastian Caceresthe usual headlines.

Right back: Emilio Lara – Despite his great failure against Monterrey that caused the tie, the absence of Kevin Alvarez It would cause the youth squad to have to appear from the start.
