Club América face Puebla today – what time and where to watch? | OneFootball

This Saturday, Las Águilas will face Puebla in Matchday 6 of the Apertura 2026.

Las Águilas have had a spectacular start to the tournament, perhaps much better than anyone expected; they have managed to position themselves as the leaders of the Apertura 2026 and are also through to the Leagues Cup semifinals.

Considering how long it has taken for the reinforcements to arrive and the small squad they currently have, these numbers at the start of the season are a great achievement by the coaching staff, led by Guillermo Almada.

It is true that the team has shown several weaknesses, especially when it comes to defending, but that is normal considering that Almada has a very different style of play from André Jardine, so it will be a matter of time before they adapt and we see a more solid team.

The upcoming opponent, Puebla, has had a fairly positive start to the tournament, with three wins in five matches played in the Apertura 2026, but they did very poorly in the Leagues Cup, losing all three matches they played.

It will not be an easy matchup at all, especially because it is very likely that we will see squad rotation with many backup players and several youngsters in the starting XI.

The players ruled out for this match.

The probable lineup for this matchup.

It is very likely that Guillermo Almada will decide to rotate the entire team, keeping in mind that they played the Leagues Cup Quarterfinals just this past Wednesday.

In goal, Fernando Tapia could start, but there is a chance that Luis Malagón will return for this match.

At center back, it would be Ramón Juárez alongside Miguel Vázquez; at right back, Dagoberto Espinoza; and on the left, Emilio Lara.

In midfield, we would see Ícaro da Conceicao alongside Edwin Cerrillo and slightly ahead of them, Alexis Gutiérrez.

And in the attacking area, Óscar Perea on the left, Diego Arriaga on the right, and as center forward, Alejandro Cárdenas.

The jersey América will wear:
