Dorados
- Paco Ramirez’s hosts like to press teams high up the pitch in order to force turnovers and get into a quick counter-attacking transition where their wide players are particularly lethal.
- Dorados have won only one of their last five matches, but they have drawn two and lost only two, so they are a difficult team to beat.
- Their recent games have been entertaining, including a 4-4 draw away to Venados FC and a 2-1 win at home to Mineros de Zacatecas.
Tepatitlán FC
- Fernando Perez’s visitors are all about structure and organisation, setting up in a mid-to-low block and using their pressing game and pace to counter and threaten from set pieces.
- Tepatitlán have two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five and the momentum is with them after a 2-0 home win over Tapatío and a 1-0 away victory at Jaiba Brava del Tampico-Madero.
