Preview: América v Monterrey – aiming to keep flying high | OneFootball

Tonight, the Eagles will be hosting Monterrey in what will be the closing match of the 5th round of the Clausura 2026.

After a rather negative start to the tournament with three matches without a win and even without scoring goals, the team seems to be recovering and now has two consecutive victories.

First, they defeated Necaxa 2-0 at home to secure their first victory of the Clausura 2026 and subsequently, defeated Olimpia 1-2 as visitors, to take a step into the Round of 16 of the Concachampions.

To the surprise of many, the team's top scorer at the moment is Víctor Dávila with two goals scored, and not only that, there has been noticeable improvement in the Chilean forward, just as rumors suggested he might return to his country with Colo Colo.

Moreover, it's clear that Brian Rodríguez is the most unbalancing player on the team and that Alejandro Zendejas is key for the team to function.

The current opponent, Monterrey, has had ups and downs at the start of the tournament, beginning with a defeat against Toluca at home, then securing two consecutive victories against Necaxa and Mazatlán, but their level dropped again with a 2-2 draw against Xolos at home.

It will be a very interesting match due to the individual quality of both teams, and it is likely that Raphael Veiga will have some minutes in this match.

The players ruled out for this match.

The Eagles will have one player out for this match, the injured Israel Reyes.

The probable lineup for this duel.

In goal, there is no doubt that Luis Ángel Malagón will remain.

The central defense will be formed by Ramón Juárez alongside Sebastián Cáceres; on the right Kevin Álvarez and on the left Cristian Borja.

The midfield with Rodrigo Dourado and Jonathan dos Santos and Erick Sánchez a bit ahead of them.

And on the wings, Brian Rodríguez on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, and Henry Martín as the center forward.
