Club America will host Club Tijuana at the Estadio Azteca this Saturday, October 20, 2018, in what should be an intriguing matchup. Miguel Herrera leaked the starting lineup that he will use against his former team this Friday and there were some interesting changes.
The lineup is as follows: Agustin Marchesin, Paul Aguilar, Bruno Valdez, Emanuel Aguilera, Jorge Sanchez, Guido Rodriguez, Mateus Uribe, Andres Ibarguen, Diego Lainez, Renato Ibarra, Roger Martinez.

Team captain Oribe Peralta will miss this game due to an injury, Cecilio Dominguez is questionable and it was odd that “Piojo” decided to sit Henry Martin. The most intriguing addition was that of the 18-year-old Diego Lainez, who is just coming back from an injury and was immediately inserted into the starting XI.
It is unclear if Herrera will deploy his usual 4-4-2 formation or shift to a 4-3-3 due to the players that will start this match. The most likely scenario is “Piojo” sticking to his 4-4-2 with Andres Ibarguen accompanying his countryman Roger Martinez in the attack and Renato Ibarra and Diego Lainez on the wings.
Regardless, this is a very strong lineup for Las Aguilas that should be able to get a favorable result against an inconsistent Xolos team. Diego Cocca has not leaked his starting XI, but this is how it may look: Gibran Lajud, Omar Mendoza, Julian Velazquez, Gustavo Canto, Luis Fuentes, Diego Rodriguez, Diego Gonzalez, Jesus Angulo, Fabian Castillo, Miller Bolanos, Juan Martin Lucero.
