Club América v Puebla, kick-off time, TV and probable line-up | OneFootball

Club América face Puebla on Saturday in matchday six of the Apertura 2026. América have started superbly, leading the league and already into the Leagues Cup semi-finals.

According to Americayya.net, Guillermo Almada is likely to rotate after Wednesday’s Leagues Cup quarter-final, with several youngsters and many squad players in the XI. Alejandro Zendejas and José Zúñiga are ruled out.

With reinforcements arriving late and a short squad, the coaching staff led by Almada merit credit for this opening burst. There have been defensive issues, which is understandable as his style differs from André Jardine and will take time to settle.

Puebla have started the league well, winning three of five in the Apertura 2026. Their Leagues Cup campaign was difficult, with three defeats. This will not be straightforward.

Fernando Tapia could start in goal, though Luis Malagón might return. At the back, Dagoberto Espinoza, Ramón Juárez, Miguel Vázquez and Emilio Lara could feature. In midfield, Ícaro da Conceicao with Edwin Cerrillo, with Alexis Gutiérrez ahead, is a possibility.

In attack, Óscar Perea on the left, Diego Arriaga on the right and Alejandro Cárdenas through the middle are possible. Kick-off is at 7:00pm Central Mexico Time on Canal 5, TUDN, VIX Premium and Layvtime.
