What They're Saying
Cruz Azul striker Roque Santa Cruz (via Esto): "As a striker, I like to score, but the circumstances haven't allowed me to. Obviously, I would like to score much more goals like the ones I've scored before and be more apart of the game, more than the amount I've influenced it. But I believe we'll arrive to the Liguilla in good form, which was our goal and what we've dreamt about."
Tigres UANL manager Ricardo Ferretti (via Esto): "My team played a great game [against River Plate on Wednesday]. They did good things except in the last five minutes."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: One of the players benefitting from the absence of Santa Cruz is Alemao. In nine appearances, the 26-year-old has two goals and three assists.
Cruz Azul's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Corona; Pinto, Dominguez, Rodriguez, Flores; Baca, Torrado; Gimenez, Formica, Baez; Alemao
Tigres UANL's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Guzman; Torres, Rivas, Ayala, Estrada; Burbano, Duenas, Pizarro, Lugo; Sobis, Guerrón
