What They're Saying

Atlas manager Tomas Boy (via Medio Tiempo): "The attack is not firm. It's still a work in progress. We didn't finish plays [against Tijuana]. We had the equalizer earlier in the match. My worry is that we don't have the necessary consistency. It's obvious. We committed errors and we need to improve."

"We have played with three forwards," he added. "Even [Jair] Barraza had an opportunity."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: America's Oribe Peralta has been clinical in front of goal this season. The 30-year-old has a club-best seven goals and created 24 total chances.

America's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Munoz; Goltz, Aguilar, Mares, Layun, Molina, Velasco, Martinez, Rey, Arroyo, Peralta

Atlas' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Villar; Castillo, Venegas, Erpen, Chavez, Ramirez, Trevino, Gonzalez, Caballero, Leite, Barragan
