Likely line-up for the trip to Rayados – Apertura 2025 | OneFootball

The next match for Club América will be an away game against Monterrey in the 9th round of the Apertura 2025.

The Eagles come into this match after a surprising defeat against Chivas at home, in a game where they were the clear favorites, but were outplayed by a team that had only accumulated four points throughout the tournament.

This defeat hit the team hard, especially due to the manner in which it happened, as the second half was one of the worst performances they have shown this semester, being an ineffective team, with defensive lapses and lacking spirit; at times it seemed like a friendly match for the Eagles.

The current opponent, Rayados, is undoubtedly the team in the best form in the current Liga MX, with seven consecutive victories, maintaining their position as the tournament leaders.

Moreover, we are talking about a team with many experienced players such as Sergio Ramos, Sergio Canales, Oliver Torres, Lucas Ocampos among others.

It will be a very challenging match, but perhaps what could favor the Eagles is that Rayados will propose the game, so unlike what happened against Chivas, they will have spaces to try to inflict damage through counterattacks.

What could be América's lineup?

In goal will be Luis Ángel Malagón.

In central defense, we might see Sebastián Cáceres alongside Ramón Juárez, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Igor takes Ramón's place. On the right flank, Dagoberto Espinoza and on the left, Cristian Borja.

In midfield, there will be Israel Reyes, and a bit further forward, Alexis Gutiérrez will be replacing Álvaro Fidalgo, who will be on the bench. Up front will be ‘Chiquito’ Sánchez.

And in the offensive zone, there will be the trio, with Brian Rodríguez on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, and Rodrigo Aguirre as the center forward.
