Team news & rosters
| Position | Club America roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Ochoa, Jimenez, Tapia |
| Defenders | Fuentes, J. Sanchez, Caceres, Valdez, Aguilera, Silva, Layun, Lara |
| Midfielders | Aquino, Madrigal, Benedetti, Cordova, R. Sanchez, Fidalgo, Reyes, Lainez, Ibarra, Naveda, Galvan, Campos, Gutierrez |
| Forwards | Roger Martinez, Castillo, Martin, Lopez, Vinas, Roman Martinez |
Las Aguilas notched up another win to keep themselves atop the pile against Juarez in midweek, but are still likely to have to contend without the injured Leo Suarez and Santiago Naveda for now.
Santiago Solari has no shortage of talents however, with stars like Jorge Sanchez and Henry Martin both likely to carry their fine form onwards for the hosts this weekend.
Predicted Club America starting XI: Ochoa; J. Sanchez, Caceres, Valdez, Fuentes; Aquino, Madrigal; Fidalgo, Cordova, Lainez; Martin.
| Position | Club Tijuana roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Orozco, Alcala, Diaz, Mendoza, Higuera |
| Defenders | Angulo, Tercero, Lozoya, Rak, Jara, Lorona, Barbona, Guzman, Manriquez, Yanez |
| Midfielders | Ruiz, Castillo, Pavez, Martinez, Rodriguez, Ortiz, Rivera, Dominguez, Cortizo, Gamiz, E. Lopez |
| Forwards | Manotas, Vazquez, Sansores, D. Lopez |
Two draws in their last two games have helped Los Xolos buck the trend after three straight defeats to open the new campaign - but there is little escaping that they are still to get going.
Robert Siboldi's start to life at the club has been far from a glowing success, but his previous trophy record elsewhere should give him time to further steady the ship.
Predicted Club Tijuana starting XI: Orozco; Lorona, Guzman, Tercero, Angulo; Rivera, Pavez; Cortizo, Martinez, Rodriguez; Manotas.
