Predicted lineups, team news, and last result

Necaxa

Sadly, for Necaxa, their last game was a complete failure. Everyone thought that we’d see an equal game on the 27^th of December yet it was Toluca who were the better of the two sides on the pitch. Coach Andres Lillini’s boys did all they could but their best wasn’t enough as they were brushed aside by a superior Toluca team. It was Saucedo’s well-placed shot that was the difference-maker at Estadio Nemesio Diez.

Predicted lineup – Gonzalez (GK), Vanrankin, Oliveros, Formiliano, Segovia, Madrigal, Andrade, Esquivel, Dominguez, Garnica & Gimenez

Atletico San Luis

We weren’t too surprised to see Tigres UANL thrashing Atletico San Luis 0:3 on the 2^nd of October. Tigres were by far the better of the two teams as they completely outplayed their opponents and the statistics can confirm this – Tigres UANL had 17 shots, 11 on target, 59% possession, and 389 passes while Atletico San Luis barely had nine shots, four on target, 41% possession, and 211 passes.

Predicted lineup – Ochoa, Chavez, Leon, Gonzalez, Cruz, Iniestra, Dourado, Sanabria, Waller, Hernandez & Ferreira Arantes

Starting lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off

Player to watch: Agustin Oliveros

Necaxa’s star left-back has been the heart and soul of the defensive line for quite some time now. He’s the most expensive player on Necaxa’s roster valued at approximately €2.28m. We expect him to be on top of his game for the match on Saturday as Atletico San Luis can be a dangerous team on the wings. This is where he shines so he might just nullify coach Andre Jardine’s attacking trio.
