Team news & rosters

Position Club America roster
Goalkeepers Jimenez, Tapia
Defenders Fuentes, Caceres, Valdez, Aguilera, Layun, Gutierrez, Lara
Midfielders Aquino, Gonzalez, Suarez, Benedetti, Sanchez, Fidalgo, Reyes, Lainez, Ibarra, Naveda, Galvan, Campos
Forwards Roger Martinez, Castillo, Lopez, Vinas, Roman Martinez

With a Champions League semi-final on the horizon and plenty of high hopes for the new Liga MX season, Las Aguilas will hope that they can hit the ground running this term, after an opening draw with Queretaro got them off the mark.

They'll have to manage again without four key faces however - Guillermo Ochoa, Jorge Sanchez, Henry Martin and Sebastian Cordova - as the club finds their numbers cut thanks to Mexico's ongoing Olympic campaign at Tokyo 2020.

Predicted Club America starting XI: Jimenez, Layun, Valdez, Aguilera, Fuentes, Sanchez, Aquino, Suarez, Fidalgo, Lainez, Martinez. 

Position Necaxa roster
Goalkeepers Malagon, Hernandez, Castellanos
Defenders Meza, Oliveros, Quintana, Dominguez, Sandoval, Julio Gonzalez, Hernandez
Midfielders B. Garcia, L. Garcia, Jonathan Gonzalez, F. Gonzalez, Arce, Poggi, Medina, Carvallo, Sepulveda, Andrade
Forwards Escoboza, Palma, Quiroga, Salas, Aguirre, Bareiro, Barragan, Zendejas, Roque

An opening defeat to favourites Santos Laguna did not exactly spell out promising omens for Guillermo Vazquez's side, but they will hope to sneak in a big win on the road with their hosts perhaps sidetracked by continental football.

Last term's bottom-place finish across the second half of the campaign has left them looking to bounce back this season, and unlike their hosts, they have suffered little disruption through both the Olynpics and the ongoing Gold Cup.

Predicted Necaxa starting XI: Hernandez; Dominguez, Julio Gonzalez, Quintana, Oliveros; Medina, Poggi, Zendejas; Aguirre, Quiroga, Sepulveda.
