They will look to take advantage of home-field advantage and continue building confidence in their pursuit of another deep Liguilla run.

After spending several seasons outside Liga MX, Los Potros de Hierro are aiming to establish themselves among the country’s elite clubs again. Facing the defending champions provides an immediate test of their level and an opportunity to earn a statement result against one of the league’s biggest names.
