What They're Saying
Club America defender Pablo Aguilar (via Goal): "I approached the coach to tell him we feel unprotected. When the team attacks, we leave a lot of space. What is happening is that we have a lot of players with attacking characteristics, and that complicates things when the time comes to defend."
Puebla manager Jose Guadalupe Cruz (via Periodico Digital): "[America] is an obligated team. They are playing at home and they were favorites before the season started, but football is not won nor lost on prognostications. You have to play the games and Puebla is ready to fight."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Darwin Quintero at his disposal, it's easy to see why America manager Gustavo Matosas is eager to attack with gusto. In 17 appearances with Santos Laguna last season, the 27-year-old created a club-best 52 chances.
America's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Munoz; Aguilar, Goltz, Aguilar, Samudio; Sambueza, Pellerano, Arroyo; Benedetto, Peralta, Quintero
Puebla's Projected Lineup (3-4-2-1): Cota; Erpen, Romero, Orozco; Esqueda, Noriega, Espinoza, Loba; Pajoy, Alustiza; Rey
