What They're Saying
Cruz Azul manager Luis Fernando Tena (via Medio Tiempo): "This is not about one player. It's my responsibility to send more people forward and look deeper. It's not that we lack one, two or three players. It's more that in our system we have to go forward more. We can't sit well getting few goals."
Monterrey manager Carlos Barra (via Terra Deportes): "Without a doubt this [match] has special ingredients, pinning us against a formidable opponent, but that doesn't take away my idea to go out in search of a result."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Cruz Azul's Mauro Formica remains a creative threat behind a lone striker. In 15 appearances last season, the 26-year-old created 22 total chances.
Cruz Azul's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Corona; Dominguez, Flores, Maza, Pinto; Baez, Torrado; Baca, Formica, Rojas; Alemao
Monterrey's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Orozco; Medina, Meza, Mier, Velarde; Barrera, Cardona, Silva, Mejia, Zavala; Pabon
