National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Mazatlán or Santos Laguna that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa por México game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Guadalajara. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
