Cruz Azul invite Arcahaie to the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City for the CONCACAF Champions League round of 16.
This will be the second leg of the tie between the two sides after they played a goalless draw in the Dominican Republic.
The visitors have played just five competitive fixtures this year with a win in only one of them, and even that victory was on penalties.
The hosts are currently the leaders in the Liga MX and won their 12th game in a row against Guadalajara on Saturday.
