🚨Confirmed XIs: Estadio Azteca rocks for the first Clásico Joven | OneFootball

Estadio Azteca opens its doors this Saturday night (9:00 p.m. Central Mexico time) to host a thrilling edition of the Clásico Joven. Club América, managed by Guillermo Almada, arrives in strong form in Liga MX after recording five wins and one draw, while also boasting the stingiest defense of the Apertura 2026 with just two goals conceded.

Meanwhile, Cruz Azul arrives at the Coloso de Santa Úrsula in inconsistent form (four wins and three losses) with a vulnerable back line that has conceded 11 goals. With Santiago Mingo and Santiago Bueno ruled out through injury, Almada will field his strongest XI, highlighted by Luis Ángel Malagón’s return in goal and Miguel Borja’s presence as the main secondary attacking reference, supported by Brian Rodríguez and Isaías Violante. An electric and tightly contested clash between fierce rivals is expected.
