Goalkeeper: Oscar Whalley – After not seeing action in the Liga MX for the ownership of Raul RangelIt is remembered that the goalkeeper remained in the fold because the coach promised him that he could fight for the title unlike the last cycle, so we could see him debut in the continental tournament.
Defense: Chiquete Orozco – Having a fixed goal, the Flock cannot trust itself, so it would not do less to the rival and would go out with the starting defenders, except for the injured one Tiba Sepulveda.
Defense: Antonio Briseño – El Pollo has a great aerial game that can be effective both in defense and attack. He is a very passionate character and would be a great help in motivating others.
Right back: Alan Mozo – Yes ok Fernando Gago could also place Jesus Sanchez Because he is the substitute, he would not want to give so many facilities and would keep the Auriazul youth player.
Left back: José Castillo – Mateo Chavez He has been the starter in the position since the start of the League, but the recent signing needs to settle in. It would be his great opportunity.
Pivot: Rubén González – In the last semester you couldn't imagine the starting eleven without El Oso because he is a ball retriever different from the rest. Being a constant relief, he would now start.
Midfielder: Fernando Beltrán – He is still far from his level, but he needs to raise his performance again. El Nene would continue accumulating minutes to gain greater confidence or we could see at the last minute Alan Torres.
Midfielder: Víctor Guzmán – The red and white captain would arrive at this match with high spirits after his double from the penalty spot. He has to continue to show why he is the leader and orchestrating the attack would be the best way.
Far right: Roberto Alvarado – El Piojo continues to be the most decisive of the Guadalajara offensive, so his services cannot be dispensed with.
Left winger: Yael Padilla – Between Pavel Perez and Code Cowellhave participated in that position, but the youth player has been a replacement and this is his opportunity to do damage from the beginning.
Forward: Armando González – With the loss of JJ Macias and with Ricardo Marin Recently returning to the league, the promise needs to continue to be honed. It would be good for Gago to start him.
