What They're Saying

Monterrey manager Carlos Barra (via Goal): "We should get better and we are conscience that we have a solid foundation with grand players and we should demonstrate the capability and experience to advance. Yes, we are in the Liguilla. It's because we didn't gift anything, it's because we deserve to be here. We are going to try and get better, so we can continue fighting for the title."

"[Jesus] Zavala and others are important, but its difficult to say that the functionality of the team depends on one player," he added. "The ones that played [against Pumas UNAM on the final matchday] played well, even if we lacked consistency."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Atlas' Facundo Erpen has been instrumental in defense for the club this season. In 17 league appearances, the 31-year-old is averaging a club-best 10 defensive actions, while completing 91 percent of his passes. More of the same will be required to stymie a potent Monterrey attack on Thursday.

Monterrey's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Orozco, Velarde, Juárez, Mier, Ramos, Medina, Rojas, Pacheco, Ramírez, Arellano, Suazo

Atlas' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Vilar, Erpen, Castillo, Venegas, Pérez, Ramírez, Medina, Caballero, Leite, Barragán, Hernández
