Preview: DC United v Club América – Friendly clash in the United States | OneFootball

Today, Club América faces DC United from the MLS in a friendly match.

The Eagles will use this friendly to maintain their rhythm ahead of what’s to come in the Apertura 2025, giving minutes to all the players on the squad.

DC United is currently one of the worst teams in the United States League; however, historically, it could be considered the best, especially on the international stage.

It is the only MLS club to have won an Interamerican Cup, defeating Vasco da Gama from Brazil, and also managed to lift the Concachampions trophy, both in 1998.

In the encounters between both clubs, there is only one precedent, which was in the North American SuperLiga, where DC United defeated América 1-0 in 2007.

Recent encounters between both teams.

Players ruled out for this match.

The Eagles will have six absences for this match, but fortunately, none are due to injury.

The absences are the players who have been called up by their respective national teams, namely: Luis Ángel Malagón, Erick Sánchez, Sebastián Cáceres, Brian Rodríguez, Rodrigo Aguirre, and Alejandro Zendejas.

The probable lineup for this match.

In goal, Rodolfo Cota will start.

As center backs, Igor Lichnovsky will be paired with Ramón Juárez, on the right, Dagoberto Espinoza, and on the left, Cristian Borja.

In midfield, we’ll see Israel Reyes and a bit further forward, Álvaro Fidalgo alongside Alexis Gutiérrez.

And in the attacking zone, on the left, Allan Saint-Maximin, on the right, Isaías Violante, and as center forward, José Zúñiga.

This would be the lineup for the first half, as the second half will surely see a flurry of changes so that players like Kevin Álvarez, Henry Martín, Alan Cervantes, Miguel Vázquez, among others, also get playing time.

The kit América will wear:
