Likely line-up to face Pumas – Apertura 2025 | OneFootball

The Azulcremas come into this match after securing their first victory of the month by narrowly defeating Atlético de San Luis with a goal from Alejandro Zendejas.

The Eagles had hit a small slump, following a couple of losses against DC United (friendly) and Chivas, then drawing against Rayados in what ended up being a positive result considering how the match unfolded.

However, both in the draw against Rayados and the victory over San Luis, the team significantly raised their level with players like Álvaro Fidalgo and Allan Saint-Maximin; not to forget what Brian Rodríguez and Alejandro Zendejas can contribute.

Pumas, as usual, is a rather inconsistent team, during the tournament they have managed to draw with Toluca or Tigres, but at the same time have suffered defeats against Santos and Juárez.

What we can expect this Saturday is an opponent that will surely deliver their best match of the season, defending with everything and it wouldn't be surprising at all if they try to disrupt the game with physical play and fouls.

The probable lineup for América.

In goal will be, Luis Ángel Malagón.

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

In the midfield, there will be Israel Reyes, Álvaro Fidalgo, and Erick Sánchez.

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