Atlas team news and form: Atlas to rely on Benat San Jose
Atlas’ manager has never lost a game against Cruz Azul. His record consists of one win, one draw, and zero losses, but we believe San Jose won’t remember the Cruz Azul showdown on the 7th too fondly.
Predicted lineup: Vargas (GK), Reyes, Doria, Nervo, Zaldivar, Marquez, Barboza, Lozano, Zambrano, Lopez & Aguirre

Cruz Azul team news and form: Martin Anselmi to make changes
Seeing as the team already won the regular part of the season, we believe Anselmi will make some adjustments to his starting XI. The key one is the return of goalscorer-in-chief Giorgos Giakoumakis who didn’t partake in the previous game.
Predicted lineup: Mier (GK), Ditta, Lira, Piovi, Sanchez, Rivero, Rodriguez, Rotondi, Romo, Gutierrez & Giakoumakis

Player to watch: Giorgos Giakoumakis
Greek goalscoring magician Giorgos Giakoumakis is the player to watch in our key Atlas vs Cruz Azul predictions, as he wasn’t among the starters for his manager last week. Surely, he will be against Atlas, as coach Anselmi wants him to be fit and ready for the knock-out phase of the competition.
Second player to watch: Ignacio Rivero
We have to give it to Rivero, he is one of the top performers for the visitors. Since the start of the campaign, he found the net on five occasions.
