Likely line-up for the first leg of the quarter-finals vs Rayados | OneFootball

Club América will make their debut in the Apertura 2025 playoffs, facing Rayados in the quarterfinals.

It will be a very interesting match between two teams that attack very effectively, but the difference lies in the fact that Monterrey has had a much weaker defense—in fact, it’s the worst defense among the teams that qualified for the playoffs.

Additionally, the Águilas will be able to count on a full squad for the first time in the tournament, as both Henry Martín and José Zúñiga, who were injured, are now part of the squad list.

What could the lineup be for this match?

Not many surprises are expected compared to what we’ve seen during the regular season; André Jardine’s biggest question is on the left wing, choosing between Allan Saint-Maximin and Brian Rodríguez.

In goal will be Luis Ángel Malagón.

At center back will be the duo of Ramón Juárez and Sebastián Cáceres; at right back, Kevin Álvarez and at left back, Cristian Borja.

In midfield, we would see Israel Reyes as the holding midfielder, Álvaro Fidalgo a bit further forward, and Erick Sánchez with freedom as an attacking midfielder.

And to round out the lineup, Allan Saint-Maximin as the left winger, Alejandro Zendejas as the right winger, and Rodrigo Aguirre as the center forward.
