The likely XI to face Cruz Azul at the Estadio Azteca | OneFootball

Las Águilas return home after being away for almost two years, and they will do so in the clásico against Cruz Azul, in a match that until a couple of weeks ago seemed to have a clear favorite, but now looks very evenly matched.

América have not had a good tournament at all, but they come into this after picking up a couple of draws away from home, while Cruz Azul have gone four matches without a win, with two straight losses.

A few weeks ago, it was clear that Cruz Azul were by far the favorites for this match, but right now we cannot say the same, since their level has dropped a lot and although Las Águilas still have not shown their best form, they have proven they have what it takes to compete.

It will be a very interesting match, one that could start to determine the places in the liguilla, with an América side that absolutely needs the victory to temporarily secure sixth place in the standings, since a loss could even send them down to tenth place.

América’s probable starting XI.

In goal will be Rodolfo Cota.

In central defense, we would see Sebastián Cáceres alongside Israel Reyes; at right back Aarón Mejía and on the left, Miguel Vázquez.

In midfield, Jonathan dos Santos together with Erick Sánchez and a little further ahead of them, Raphael Veiga.

And in the attacking area, Brain Rodríguez on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, and Patricio Salas as center forward.
