Likely line-up for Las Águilas to face Pachuca | OneFootball

América has had a rather negative start to the tournament. In their debut, they drew 0-0 with Xolos in a match where they showed good defensive work, but their offense was completely ineffective. In this second match against San Luis, when it was 11 vs 11, they showed the same difficulty in creating goal-scoring chances, and once they were down to 10 men, it was practically impossible for this team.

André Jardine spoke about this issue after the match concluded, revealing that they are still looking to secure one last signing, but to do so, they need to free up a foreign player slot; although, seeing the team's current level, even with a new signing it might not be enough.

Now they have to visit Pachuca, a club that has historically been a tough opponent for the team and, after a poor start to the tournament against Chivas, managed to bounce back by defeating their ‘little brother’ León.

América will not only be looking for their first victory, but also to score their first goal of the tournament; as a fact, since the Invierno 2001 tournament, they have not gone without scoring in their first two games.

The probable starting 11 to face Pachuca.

In goal will be Luis Ángel Malagón.

The central defense will be formed by Sebastián Cáceres and Israel Reyes, with Cristian Borja on the left and Kevin Álvarez on the right.

In midfield, Rodrigo Dourado alongside Álvaro Fidalgo. On the wings, we’ll see Isaías Violante on the right and Allan Saint-Maximin on the left.

And as center forwards, Patricio Salas together with the ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga.
