The Azteca Stadium hosts a new edition of the National Classic between América and Guadalajara, a duel that begins very evenly, unlike other editions in which the Águilas were considered big favorites to win; There will also be some revenge from the Azulcremas for what happened in the last Liguilla.
The Azulcremas have gone from less to more in this tournament, while the Rebaño have gone from more to less, and after the disaster in the League Cup they have not been able to recover.
In addition, this game will be important for América as it will be the first Clásico for their brand new reinforcement Julián Quiñones, who already warned the Rojiblancos the day before that he knows how to play a game of this type.
Injuries affect America
The Águilas were badly affected by injuries and despite resting Henry Martín, they continued in this game and now it was Sebastián Cáceres who suffered a tear before the Classic.
The Uruguayan joins the list led by Néstor Araujo, followed by Israel Reyes, all central defenders, which is why they had to sign Igor Lichnovsky at the last minute.
The game losses have fallen victim to Chivas
The results achieved with Chivas in recent weeks are due to the absence of several of its players, including Víctor Guzmán, who is the team’s main driving force.
In addition to Pocho, there is also the game loss that came with Erick Gutiérrez, who came like a bombshell reinforcement for the team and was slow to adapt to Paunovic’s orders.
Those who experience their first classic
This duel between América and Chivas will also feature players who will experience their first Clásico, on the American side it is Lichnovsky, Quiñones and Kevin Álvarez, while for the red and white it is Erick Gutiérrez.
