The likely line-up to book a place in the Concachampions semi-finals | OneFootball

Las Águilas come into this match in fairly inconsistent form, although at the same time they are unbeaten in their last three games, with three straight draws against Santos, Nashville, and Cruz Azul, respectively.

Perhaps América’s biggest problem is that after the draw in the first leg, they now need a win to advance, something they have not managed since March 15, when they beat Mazatlán 2-0 in a Matchday 11 clash.

Since then, they have recorded four draws (Philadelphia, Santos, Nashville, and Cruz Azul) and one defeat, which came against Pumas in a match that also seemed headed for a draw, but a last-minute penalty changed everything.

It will be very interesting to see how André Jardine approaches this match, because although a victory would send them into the next round, if the opponent manages to score, they will have the away-goal advantage, meaning América would be eliminated with a draw.

For their part, Nashville remain at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference, with five wins, one draw, and one loss, with Surridge as the league’s top scorer.

The likely starting XI for this match.

In goal will be Rodolfo Cota.

The center-back pairing would again be Ramón Juárez and Sebastián Cáceres; at right-back, Israel Reyes, and on the left, Cristian Borja.

In midfield would be Jonathan dos Santos alongside Erick Sánchez, and slightly ahead of them, Vinícius Lima.

And in attack, Brian Rodríguez on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, and Patricio Salas as center forward.
