What They're Saying
America striker Dario Benedetto (via Esto): "This Saturday we're playing an important game, a Clasico, and obviously we want to win it to regain some of that confidence we had in the first games of the season. I'm 100 percent [healthy]."
Cruz Azul striker Alemao (via Esto): "It would really be great if we won this game. I don't care who scores. Hopefully, I can score. I know that a striker that doesn't care to score isn't a striker, so of course I want to score, but the most important thing is that we walk out with a victory."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: The health concerns of Roque Santa Cruz will provide Alemao his opportunity to score at the Azteca on Saturday. In nine appearances this season, the 26-year-old has three goals and an assists.
America's Projected Lineup (4-2-2-2): Gonzalez; Samudio, Aguilar, Goltz, Aguilar; Martinez, Guerrero; Arroyo, Sambueza; Benedetto, Quintero
Cruz Azul's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Corona; Pinto, Dominguez, Martinez, Loeschbor; Castro, Baez; Baca, Gimenez, Formica; Alemao
