Puebla will host Club America at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc this Friday, September 21, 2018, for one of the more enticing matchups in Week 10 of the 2018 Apertura. Both teams have plenty of talent on their rosters and here are the predicted starting lineups for both teams by FutnSoccer.
Puebla: Nicolas Vikonis, Vladimir Lorona, Anderson Santamaria, Ignacio Pallas, Daniel Arreola, Brayan Angulo, Jose Francisco Torres, Alejandro Chumacero, Omar Fernandez, Cristian Palacios, Lucas Cavallini
Formation: 5-3-2
Enrique Meza has stayed consistent with his 5-3-2 formation and is unlikely to abandon it in a crucial game against Club America. The strike partnership of Cristian Palacios and Lucas Cavallini has not been the best, but has led to two consecutive wins, Meza does have other options to partner Cavallini like Christian Tabo and Francisco Acuna.
The midfield can also have different alterations depending on whether “Ojitos” wants to play a more offensive or conservative game. Meza can start Pablo Gonzalez or opt for a much more offensive option like Francisco Acuna or Omar Fernandez.
The offensive option on the right-hand side would be the better option as Club America may be exposed on the right flank with an inexperienced left-back likely to start. The defense is likely to stay the same after a solid effort against Queretaro last weekend at the Estadio Corregidora.
Club America: Agustin Marchesin, Jorge Sanchez, Emanuel Aguilera, Edson Alvarez, Paul Aguilar, Cecilio Dominguez, Mateus Uribe, Guido Rodriguez, Andres Ibarguen, Oribe Peralta, Henry Martin
Formation: 4-4-2
Club America has been plagued with injuries this season and could be missing Jorge Sanchez for this match. If Sanchez does miss the clash, Miguel Herrera could play Paul Aguilar as a left-back and start Edson Alvarez as a right-back, but could also use a youth player like Oswaldo Leon.
“Piojo” might also alter his midfield with players like Renato Ibarra and Diego Lainez available, but his strike partnership of Oribe Peralta and Henry Martin should stay consistent. Lainez would be marked by Brayan Angulo in this game, which would be a very tough task, so either Ibraguen or Ibarra are the likely players to feature on that right-hand side.
