His experience and Eduardo Herrera's good aerial game could be the key to make the difference in case the game gets tight, remembering that it will only be 90 minutes and in case of a tie there will be penalties.

Christian Bermúdez is getting his second wind and is playing an important role in the team's offensive generation, highlighting that every time the "Hobbit" takes the ball he gives clarity to the Potros' offense, where he scored twice.

28 Rafael Ramírez, 3 Rodrigo Godínez, 6 Alfonso Luna, 26 Héctor Ortegón, 7 Manuel Pérez, 10 Eduardo Fernández, 2 Félix Micolta, 9 Eduardo Herrera, 11 Sleyther Lora, 17 Mauro Pérez, 21 Ángel López.

Venados de Mérida finished in tenth place with 23 points and had an acceptable season, but their mission is to take the next step and become a leading team, where they have fallen by the wayside in recent weeks. However, as visitors they have had a hard time winning only one game (against Leones Negros, 1-0), drawing four and losing another four.

Atlante's Potros de Hierro had an irregular season but, in the last game of the championship, defeated Mineros de Zacatecas 2-1 to finish in seventh place. It is worth noting that they finished undefeated at the Azulgrana Stadium with a record of four wins and four draws and, likewise, they will recover Jonathan Sánchez and Ramiro Costa, who did not play in the last game due to suspension.

The Atlante vs Venados match will be played at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, in Mexico City, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 6:00 pm ET.
