Preview: América v León – Penultimate round of the tournament kicks off | OneFootball

Today, Club América plays against León at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

The azulcremas still have a chance to reach the top spot, although they no longer depend on themselves to achieve it, as the draw against Mazatlán caused both Cruz Azul and Tigres to surpass América in the standings.

But the team needs a victory against León to stay in the race and reach the last matchday against Toluca with a chance to compete for the top spot.

León is the worst away team in the tournament, having scored only two goals (against Rayados and Necaxa) in seven matches and with only one victory, which was by the minimum against Necaxa.

Just as it happened against Puebla and Mazatlán, the eagles are the clear favorites on paper, but we can't assure anything after what we've seen in recent matchdays.

Recent encounters between both teams

Players unavailable for this match.

The eagles will have five absences for this match against León.

Dagoberto Espinoza, Isaías Violante, José Zúñiga, Alejandro Zendejas, and Henry Martín are the players who will not be able to play in this match.

Regarding Henry Martín and Alejandro Zendejas, it was expected that they would be ready, but the decision is not to risk them, so perhaps one might appear on the bench, but without playing time.

There was also the intention for Álvaro Fidalgo to rest for this match, but the 'Maguito' wants to play, and although he will still have knee protection, he is ready and will surely be seen as a starter.

The probable lineup for this match.

It is expected that André Jardine will send his best players for this match.

Luis Ángel Malagón as the starting goalkeeper.

Sebastián Cáceres alongside Ramón Juárez in central defense. Kevin Álvarez as right-back and Cristian Borja on the left.

In midfield, Israel Reyes alongside Álvaro Fidalgo and slightly ahead of them, Alexis Gutiérrez.

And in the offensive zone would be Allan Saint-Maximin on the left, Brian Rodríguez on the right, and Rodrigo Aguirre as the center forward.

The uniform América will wear:
