América’s likely starting XI to face Pumas – Clausura 2026 | OneFootball

The next match for América will be an away game against Pumas at the Olímpico Universitario.

The Eagles come into this match with four games unbeaten, recording three wins and a draw; however, they have yet to fully convince in terms of their football performance.

They have shown interesting football in various phases of the matches, but at the same time, they have struggled more than necessary in others, as happened in the final minutes against Mazatlán and in the second half against Philadelphia.

This is an issue that should concern the coaching staff, as it has been shown that good football can be achieved, but the team tends to falter in the second halves, and on the bench, they lack the elements to improve on the field.

Pumas, in the last four matches, has been very inconsistent with one win, two draws, and one loss; and in the Concachampions, they have been the only Mexican team eliminated after falling to San Diego.

It will be an important match for both squads, not only because it's a classic; more so because a victory for América would put them in 5th place, tying Pumas in points, and a victory for Pumas would keep them in the fight for the top spots of the table.

The probable lineup for this match.

In goal will be Rodolfo Cota.

In central defense will be Sebastián Cáceres and Israel Reyes; as right back, Kevin Álvarez, and as left back, Cristian Borja.

In midfield will be Vinícius Lima and Erick Sánchez, with Raphael Veiga slightly ahead.

And in the offensive zone, we will see Alejandro Zendejas on the right, Brian Rodríguez on the left, and as center forward, Patricio Salas.
