Predicted Lineup for Aguilas vs. Pachuca Clash

Predicted Lineup for Águilas vs. Pachuca Clash

Club América has faced a challenging start to their tournament campaign. In their opening match, they settled for a goalless draw against Tijuana. The defense showed promise, but the offense struggled significantly to create scoring opportunities. In the subsequent match against San Luis, the same issues persisted, especially after a player was sent off, making it nearly impossible for the team to mount an attack.

Coach André Jardine addressed these concerns after the game. He mentioned that the team is considering their final reinforcement, which requires them to free up a foreign player slot. However, given the current form of the squad, even an addition may not resolve their scoring problems.

Upcoming Challenge Against Pachuca

America’s next challenge involves a match against Pachuca. Historically, this matchup has posed difficulties for America. After a poor start to the tournament against Chivas, Pachuca rebounded with a victory over León, their local rival.

America is not only aiming for their first victory but also seeks to score their inaugural goal of the tournament. Notably, this would be the first time since the Winter 2001 tournament that they would go without scoring in their first two matches.

Predicted Starting XI for America

The expected lineup for the upcoming match against Pachuca is as follows:

• Goalkeeper: Luis Ángel Malagón
• Defenders:
  • Sebastián Cáceres
  • Israel Reyes
  • Cristian Borja (left back)
  • Kevin Álvarez (right back)
• Midfielders:
  • Rodrigo Dourado
  • Álvaro Fidalgo
• Forwards:
  • Isaías Violante (right wing)
  • Allan Saint-Maximin (left wing)
  • Patricio Salas
  • The ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga

As Águilas prepares for this crucial encounter, they hope to break their scoring drought and secure their first points of the season.
