This Saturday, Las Águilas will face Chivas at the Estadio Azteca.

We are arriving right at the halfway point of the tournament’s regular season, with both teams battling for the top spot. Chivas are currently in second place with 17 points, while América, with a game in hand, is just one point behind Chivas.

Las Águilas have had a great start to the tournament with five wins, one draw, and one loss, which surprised everyone, especially because the reinforcements took a long time to arrive; in fact, for the match against Cruz Azul, none of the new signings started and three of them remained in the stands.

The upcoming opponent, Chivas, began the tournament very inconsistently, but has managed to bounce back with a pair of consecutive wins against San Luis and Pumas, respectively.

It will be a very evenly matched clash in which, football-wise, the opponent comes in much better, but América will be able to field its new signings for this match.

América’s probable starting 11 for this match.

In midfield would be Ícaro da Conceicao alongside Erick Sánchez, with Raphael Veiga playing ahead of them.

And in the attacking area, Brian Rodríguez on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, and Miguel Borja as center forward.
