Club América has not had a positive start to the tournament, having recorded two wins, two draws, and two losses, and is also the worst offense in the championship with only three goals scored.

But not everything has been negative; one highlight for the team is their defensive line. They have only conceded three goals, making them the second-best defense in the tournament, and Luis Ángel Malagón is the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets, with four in six matches played.

Puebla is a rival that has not been able to establish strength at home. They started the tournament with a 2-1 win over Mazatlán, but then drew 0-0 against Toluca and lost their last match 2-3 against Pumas.

It will be an interesting match, with América desperate for points and Puebla looking to take advantage of the Eagles’ poor form to secure three points at home.

The players ruled out for this match.

The Eagles will have one absence for this match against Puebla, which is Alejandro Zendejas.

The Eagles’ number 10 did not make the trip to Puebla, even though he has already recovered from his injury; the reason is that they do not want to risk him, especially on a pitch that is not in good condition.

Alejandro is expected to be back for the match against Tigres next Saturday, January 28.

The probable lineup for this match.

And in the attacking zone, Brian Rodríguez on the left, Isaías Violante on the right, and Henry Martín as center forward.

The kit Club América will wear.
