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

The Eagles come into this match in great form after starting September with a couple of defeats against DC United and Chivas, but from there, they took flight by drawing against Rayados away, defeating San Luis at home, and thrashing Pumas at the Azulcrema Stadium.

Additionally, many players have individually raised their level, as has happened with Alexis Gutiérrez, who has recorded a couple of very positive matches; and not to mention players like Allan Saint-Maximin and Alejandro Zendejas, who are the driving forces in the Americanista offense.

The current opponent, Santos, is the worst visitor so far in the tournament with zero victories, one draw, and four defeats, in addition to being one of the worst offenses in the entire Apertura 2025.

Again, we can talk about a match that on paper should be easy, but historically Santos has been a rival that significantly raises its level when facing América, so nothing can be taken for granted.

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 the center forward, José Zúñiga would repeat.

The reason why Zendejas and Cáceres would be substitutes is because they are one yellow card away from accumulating five, which would result in a one-match suspension, 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 match on the bench.
