Club América at Juárez: kick-off time, TV details and predicted line-up | OneFootball

Club América visit Juárez on matchday five of the Apertura 2026, kick-off 9:00pm Central Mexico.

Americayya.net sets out the state of play ahead of the game.

América have started better than expected, unbeaten across seven with five wins and two draws.

They have reached the Leagues Cup quarter-finals and lead the Apertura with 10 points from 12.

Juárez have suffered four defeats, to Puebla, Chivas, Pumas and Monterrey, and have conceded 13. Pumas and Monterrey accounted for 11 of those.

Their Leagues Cup run was brighter, with wins over Minnesota and Vancouver, before a heavy final-round loss to Real Salt Lake ended their campaign.

América are favourites, but this does not guarantee an easy night. Juárez have shown they can compete, although their defence is the clear weak point.

América absentees are Luis Ángel Malagón, Alejandro Zendejas and Miguel Borja.

The likely XI has Rodolfo Cota in goal. At the back, Sebastián Cáceres partners Ramón Juárez, with Kevin Álvarez right-back and Cristian Borja left-back.

Midfield is expected to feature Israel Reyes with Erick Sánchez, with Raphael Veiga ahead. The front three are likely Brian Rodríguez on the left, Isaías Violante on the right and Alejandro Cárdenas through the middle.

In Mexico the match will be shown on Azteca 7 and Fox One, with Fox Deportes in the United States.
