For this match, Pablo Bengoechea has already defined the starting eleven to achieve this goal. There would only be one change in the lineup from the last match. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Leao Butrón, one of the team's key players, will remain in goal.

Due to the injuries of Aldair Fuentes and 'Neka' Vílchez, Pablo Bengoechea will opt for 'potrillo' José Cotrina, a midfielder who has the virtue of having a great work rate and speed in recovering the ball in the event of a counterattack by the opponent.

Cotrina would start in the starting eleven after 7 matches and will lead the midfield along with Rinaldo Cruzado and 'Cachito' Ramírez.
