América's possible line-up to face Atlante – Apertura 2026 | OneFootball

This Friday, Club América will be “visiting” Atlante at the Azteca Stadium.

Las Águilas opened the tournament with a win over Querétaro, in a match where they showed a few flashes of good football, but overall left a lot to be desired.

The team managed by Guillermo Almada ended up taking the win thanks to a stunning goal from Isaías Violante, but the flow of the match perhaps deserved to end in a draw.

Now they have to face Atlante, a club managed by a familiar face in Miguel Herrera, who started the tournament with a loss to Necaxa in a match they began by winning but ultimately let slip away.

Curiously, this match will mark América’s return to their home, the Azteca Stadium, but they will do so as the “away” side, since administratively Atlante will be the home team.

It will be a very interesting match in which Las Águilas will already be able to count on their internationals; players like Sebastián Cáceres, Israel Reyes, and Brian Rodríguez will be available for this game.

The likely XI to face Atlante.

In goal, Rodolfo Cota will keep his place.

In central defense, we could see a back three with Ramón Juárez, Sebastián Cáceres, and Israel Reyes as a sweeper, or even as a holding midfielder when the team has the ball. On the right flank, Dagoberto Espinosa, and on the left, Cristian Borja.

In midfield, Erick Sánchez would be there, with Raphael Veiga a little further forward.

And in attack, Brian Rodríguez on the left, Isaías Violante on the right, and Herny Martín as the center forward.
