Preview: América v Xolos – Las Águilas return home for Apertura 2025 | OneFootball

This afternoon/night, Club América will be making its home debut facing Tijuana in a matchday 2 duel.

The debut of the eagles was not as expected, the team faced Juárez in a very weak match, especially in the first half, and despite that, they were taking the victory after a counterattack that Alejandro Zendejas finished for the 1-0.

After that goal, the team improved a lot and seemed to find the second goal, until 'Chiquito' Sánchez got expelled and the match changed completely; Juárez managed to tie the match and share points in matchday 1.

The rival in turn, Xolos, started the tournament with a minimal victory against Querétaro, and now will seek to surprise by defeating the eagles as a visitor.

It will be a very interesting match, it's the presentation of Club América at home, they will be debuting the home uniform and will surely seek to make it a party that ends with a victory.

Recent matches between both teams.

Players ruled out for this match.

The eagles will have three absences for this matchday 2 duel against Xolos.

The first will be Henry Martín, the forward is still recovering from tendinitis, so he is not ready yet.

Another will be Erick Sánchez, remembering that he was expelled in the last match, and Álvaro Fidalgo, who was injured after playing just a few minutes against Juárez. It is expected that both will return for the Campeón de Campeones.

The probable lineup for this match.

It is very likely that André Jardine will repeat the five-line formation seen against Juárez, although with a couple of name changes on the field.

In goal, Luis Ángel Malagón will return.

In defense, we would see Igor Lichnovsky in the center, Sebastián Cáceres on the right, and Cristian Borja on the left. As full-backs, Kevin Álvarez would return to the right zone and Ralph Orquín to the other band.

With the absences of Fidalgo and Sánchez, the midfield would be formed by Alan Cervantes and Jonathan dos Santos.

And as an offensive trident, they would repeat Brian Rodríguez on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, and Rodrigo Aguirre as the center forward. 'Pantera' Zúñiga will be on the bench.
