Matias Almeyda goes with the same lineup for the second week running. The Chivas manager opts for a 4-4-2 with Alan Pulido and Angel Zaldivar on the attack. New Mexico international Hedgardo Marin gets the nod alongside Carlos Salcido in the defense. Jesus “Chapo” Sanchez is in pleasant form on the right-hand-side of the defense and he starts at right-back.
Veteran manager Enrique “Ojitos” Meza fields no surprises. Monarcas Morelia can boast of an impressive array of South American attackers, highlighted by Peruvian international Raul Ruidiaz. Meza’s side, however, is in dire need of a win after squandering a 2-0 lead over Puebla last week.
