His adversary goes through a situation similar to his own and that tells us that it should be a balanced game, but it is important to remember that the home team has not won Monarcas Morelia for five games and that may influence the outcome of this game. For this game the coach Roberto Siboldi must present his best starting eleven.

In 23 matches in this competition, they have only won 1 of the 7 matches in which they have conceded the first goal.
The good campaign that the Monarcas Morelia made in the Apertura ends up by attributing some responsibility to him to arrive again at the final phase and that is what the team tries, being that to dispute the semifinals again will be the minimum that waits. So far is doing a good campaign and is in the qualifying zone, so he hopes to get his opponent annulled and win at least one point. For this game the coach Roberto Hernandez Ayala must bring to play what is best available.
