For Atlético San Luis, the lineup featured Andrés Sánchez, Aldo Cruz, Eduardo Águila, Julio César “Cata” Domínguez, Juan Sanabria, Sebastien Lamonge, Oscar Macías, Rodrigo Dourado, Ricardo Chávez, Mateo Klimowicz, and Yan Phillipe.

Pre-match predictions favored Atlético San Luis, with odds of 2.50 for a San Luis win, 2.70 for a Necaxa victory, and 3.50 for a draw. The match was expected to be intense, given San Luis’s need to secure their Liguilla spot and Necaxa’s desire to end their season on a positive note despite their elimination.
