UANL Tigres and Atlante have selected similar looking lineups for their important clash, but with one key difference. Tigres' second striker should end up dropping deep and drifting around enough that we're not even going to call him a striker. This might mean that Tigres struggle to find targets up top, but more likely, they'll have more success in the center of the pitch.
Damian Alvarez is out injured for Tigres, but all of their other big stars are available and starting. Danilinho is probably the biggest danger to Atlante, cutting inside from the right wing, while the man to watch for Atlante is Christian Bermudez, playing a similar role on the other side of the field.
UANL Tigres lineup (4-4-1-1): Palos; Torres, Juninho, Ayala, Jimenez; Acosta, Molina, Toledo, Danilinho; Lobos; Mancilla
Atlante lineup (4-4-2): M. Muñoz; Solis, Venegas, Ordaz, Castillo; A. Muñoz, Guerrero, Diego, Bermudez; Ortiz, Fonseca
