América's possible line-up to face Columbus Crew | OneFootball

Club América have had a spectacular start to the tournament with eight matches unbeaten, posting six wins and two draws; sitting top of the 2026 Apertura and playing in the Quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup.

The team, now managed by Guillermo Almada, still has the task of winning an international title, and they will look to become the first Mexican club to win the Leagues Cup, bearing in mind that it has only had three official editions and all of them have been won by MLS clubs.

The upcoming opponent, Columbus Crew, are having a poor season in MLS, sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference of the domestic tournament with 20 points, while recording 10 defeats, five draws, and only five wins.

On paper, Club América come into this matchup as favorites, but it is worth remembering that although it is being played on “neutral ground,” the match will be played in the United States, more precisely at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

The probable starting 11 to face Columbus Crew.

In goal, Rodolfo Cota would return.

In central defense, we would have the pairing of Sebastián Cáceres and Israel Reyes; at right back, Kevin Álvarez and on the left, Cristian Borja.

Midfield would be covered by Alan Cervantes alongside Erick Sánchez and, a little further forward than them, Raphael Veiga.

And in attack, Brian Rodríguez on the left, Isaías Violante on the right, and Henry Martín as center forward.
