America prepares for the decisive return match against Chivas in the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. After a difficult start, the Eagles seek to reverse the score at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium and avoid a setback in the trilogy of National Classics.
For this key match, coach André Jardine has decided on a strategic lineup. In defense, Christian Calderón, Kevin Álvarez, Sebastián Cáceres, and Ramón Juárez will aim to contain the opposing attacks. In midfield, Alan Cervantes, Álvaro Fidalgo, and Erick Sánchez will take control, leaving the responsibility in attack to Alejandro Zendejas, Brian Rodríguez, and Henry Martín.
Offensive insistence is key for America, which faces a minimal disadvantage against Chivas. With several players out of form, Jardine's decisions in the lineup must be accurate to avoid complications. The team's priority is to avoid mistakes that force them to go against the current in the match.
ESPN journalist León Lecanda anticipates that the Eagles will maintain a lineup similar to the first match of the series, with only Erick Sánchez and Alan Cervantes repeating as starters. This points to a rotation strategy to face the duel with Chivas in the best possible way.
As for the goalkeeping, Luis Malagón will be the goalkeeper trying to keep the blue and cream goal unbeaten in this crucial match against Chivas. This confrontation promises to be intense and full of emotions, with both teams seeking to advance in the regional competition.
