Cruz Azul team news

Cruz Azul approach this semifinal buoyed by their impressive home form, having won all three of their home legs in the Champions Cup so far, scoring 11 goals and conceding just two. However, they will be without key midfielder Lorenzo Faravelli due to suspension for yellow card accumulation, and attacking midfielder Luka Romero is expected to miss out as he remains in concussion protocol.

The likely return of center back Gonzalo Piovi will bolster the defense, allowing Erik Lira to move back into midfield to cover for Faravelli’s absence.

Tigres team news

Tigres, under the guidance of Guido Pizarro, continue to rely on a dynamic 3-4-3 formation that emphasizes rapid transitions and attacking width. Legendary striker André-Pierre Gignac remains sidelined with injury and is unlikely to feature, but the squad is boosted by the returns of Javier Aquino and Ozziel Herrera from injury-Aquino is expected to start at right back, while Herrera could provide an option off the bench.

The attacking trio of Nicolás Ibañez, Juan Brunetta, and Gorriarán will be key, with Brunetta also providing creative spark from midfield. Despite recent defensive inconsistencies, Tigres’ pressing intensity and experience in high-stakes matches make them a persistent threat as they look to extend their unbeaten run and secure a place in the final.
