América look to stay top of the Apertura 2026 | OneFootball

Club América will face Juárez today in Matchday 5 of the Apertura 2026.

Las Águilas come into this match as the tournament leaders after recording three wins and one draw, giving them 10 points, while also being the only unbeaten team along with Xolos.

That is why tonight against Juárez they will look not only to keep their unbeaten run alive, but also to hold on to first place in the tournament. To do so, they will need a win, since a draw would put the top spot at risk and a loss would almost certainly drop them several places.

The opponent this time, Juárez, has had a terrible start to the tournament with four losses (against Puebla, Chivas, Pumas, and Monterrey), making them the worst defense in the tournament with 13 goals conceded, although Pumas and Monterrey alone scored 11 of those 13.

But their performance in the Leagues Cup was not bad at all. They managed to earn two wins (against Minnesota and Vancouver), but were eliminated after being heavily beaten in the final matchday by Real Salt Lake.
