The hosts coasted into the quarterfinals following a 4-0 aggregate win over Salvadorian side Alianza in the round of 16. Philadelphia Union crossed the current stage in their maiden participation in 2021 but were halted in the semi-finals by Club América. The Mexicans won both legs with a 4-1 aggregate.

MLS representatives are set to face another Mexican club, with coach Jim Curtin eying a comfortable win at home ahead of the return leg. His side have struggled on the road for some time now, boasting just one win in their last five outings. They sit eighth in the MLS table with seven points from six matches.

Atlas saw off the challenge of Honduran club Olimpia 5-4 on aggregate to book their place in the last eight. Like Philadelphia Union, they are yet to win the Concacaf Champions League.

They will likely take confidence from their previous away win against Puebla 4-0 heading into Tuesday’s clash.
