Comunicaciones is expected to line up with Fredy Pérez in goal behind a defensive block featuring Stheven Robles, José Pinto, Rafael Morales, and Emerson Raymundo, while Municipal is set to counter with Kenderson Navarro in goal alongside defenders Nicolás Samayoa, José Mena, and Aubrey David, as reported by Claro Sports.
