Cimarrones Preview
Cimarrones have shown a great performance in this tournament, and although they have the third-highest number of victories with eight wins, five draws and three defeats in 16 matches, they have not yet secured their place in the quarterfinals, so this is an extremely important match.
They will try to take advantage of their moment, as they are on a seven-game unbeaten streak and come into this match with four consecutive victories, which will give them confidence for this last matchday. They have been a strong team as locals and are still undefeated with five wins and two draws in seven games.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Gabino Espinoza; Josué Reyes, Harold Vázquez, José Saavedra, Juan García, Ulises Torres; Francisco Acuña, Edson Torres, Bryant Navarro; Diego Jiménez and José Peralta.
Venados Preview
Venados took all the three points last week with a 3-0 win over Tlaxcala, securing their place in the playoffs. Although they no longer have a chance of climbing into the top four, they can still improve their position in the standings that would allow them to play their playoff game as locals.
In the final stretch of the tournament, they have been intercalating results, which shows that they lack consistency. However, this match could be a new opportunity for them against a strong opponent. With seven wins, three draws and six defeats in 16 games, the Mérida team has 24 points and is in sixth place.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Rafael Ramírez; Rodrigo Noya, Alfonso Luna, Juan Vega, Santiago Román; Khaled Amador, Neri Cardozo, Manuel Pérez, Ángel López; Mauro Pérez and Sleyther Lora.
JefeBet Prediction
Venados has not been able to win in its last two away games, losing both by a score of 1-0, and one of those defeats was against an opponent that is placed above of them in the standings, so the victory here would be for the home team.
Prediction: Cimarrones win by a score of 2-0.
