After topping their group, they defeated Saudi Arabia 2–0 in the quarterfinals. Their defence, led by César Montes and Johan Vásquez, has been solid, conceding very few chances.
The return to form of Alexis Vega has been a major boost. He ended a long goal drought with a crucial strike in the previous match. Veteran striker Raúl Jiménez and winger Uriel Antuna will also play important roles in the attack.
Coach Javier Aguirre will have to make tactical adjustments, especially with Jesús Gallardo suspended for this match.
