On the other side, Atlético San Luis will use a 1-4-3-3 setup with goalkeeper César López and defenders Juan Sanabria, Eduardo Águila, Julio César Domínguez, and Román Torres. Their midfield will consist of Rodrigo Dourado, Sébastien Lamonge, and Oscar Macías, while forwards Jhon Murillo, Leonardo Bonatini, and Vitinho will lead the attack.
