Necaxa team news
Necaxa come into the fixture riding high after a convincing 3-1 victory over Querétaro last time out, showing impressive attacking depth and control of possession (73%).
Head coach Fernando Gago is expected to minimize changes to his winning lineup, relying on the momentum from their recent performances. There are no new major injury concerns reported - key players such as Pavel Pérez (the club’s current top scorer) and Agustín Palavecino are in good form and should start.
Club America team news
Club América are searching for a response after a recent defeat and a challenging start to Apertura 2025. Manager André Jardine will be forced into at least one change at the back: center-back Igor Lichovsky is suspended following a red card in their last match, likely bringing Kevin Álvarez into the starting eleven.
The rest of the squad is at or near full strength, with creative options like Álvaro Fidalgo and wingers Alejandro Zendejas and Brian Rodríguez ready to feature. Luis Malagón, recently returned from Gold Cup duty, should start in goal.
