Expected Starting Lineup and Reasons

| Génesis | 4-3-3 | GK: Dayan Rodriguez; Def: Juan Carlos Mosquera, Gabriel Araújo, Allans Vargas, Jonathan Paz; Mid: Bryan Felix, Jeffry Miranda, Roger Sander; FW: Edir Mármol, Edwin Maldonado, Daniel Meléndez | Reasons: Rodriguez solid in recent shutout attempt vs Olancho draw; backline regulars despite suspensions risk for Vargas/Mosquera (4 yellows each); Mármol leading attack after Juticalpa loss. |
