Preview: América v Santos – aiming to stay at the top of the table | OneFootball

Tonight, the Eagles will be hosting Santos at the Azulcrema Stadium.

It will be an important match for Club América, which will be fighting to secure the top spot in the Apertura 2025, a position they could achieve with a combination of results; a victory would allow them to reach the top or at least stay in the fight for another round.

The team arrives at this match in good form, as they have been improving, managing to salvage a draw against Rayados at their home and subsequently securing two consecutive victories against San Luis and Pumas, respectively.

Santos is a team whose main aspiration, as has become customary, is to make it to the playoffs, as they have only accumulated 10 points, placing them in 13th place; moreover, they are the tournament's visitors, having only earned one point in five matches played.

Recent encounters between both teams

Players unavailable for this match.

Henry Martín, Dagoberto Espinoza, and Jonathan dos Santos will not be available due to injury.

The probable lineup for this match.

In goal will be Luis Ángel Malagón.

In central defense, we would see Sebastián Cáceres alongside Ramón Juárez; on the right flank, Kevin Álvarez and on the left, Cristian Borja.

In midfield, Israel Reyes with Alexis Gutiérrez and Erick Sánchez.

And in the offensive zone on the left, Brian Rodríguez, on the right, Isaías Violante, and as center forward, José Zúñiga would repeat.

The reason Zendejas and Cáceres would be substitutes is because they are one yellow card away from accumulating five, which would suspend them for one match, and if they receive it in this match, they would miss the classic against Cruz Azul, so it is likely that both will start the game on the bench.

The uniform América will wear:
