Club America will host the Tijuana Xolos at the Estadio Azteca this Tuesday, April 2, 2019 (7:15 PM Pacific) for a match in the 2019 Clausura Copa MX semifinals.
Club America is the current Liga MX champions and is the favorite in this match and the favorite to win the Copa MX championship. Las Aguilas will have the massive home-field advantage at the Estadio Azteca and that can prove to be the difference maker in this clash.
Miguel Herrera’s lineup has been confirmed and it will look like this: Agustin Marchesin, Carlos Vargas, Jorge Sanchez, Emanuel Aguilera, Paul Aguilar, Edson Alvarez, Guido Rodriguez, Nicolas Benedetti, Guadalupe Clemente, Renato Ibarra, Henry Martin.
Bruno Valdez, Oribe Peralta, Nicolas Castillo and Roger Martinez are all unavailable for this vital clash. This leaves Henry Martin as the main striker for the team as he will try and do some damage to his former team with five goals in all competitions this season.
Miguel Herrera opted to use Carlos Vargas and Guadalupe Clemente as the youngsters to fulfill the youth requirement in this match. “Piojo” also has a very strong bench with players like Jeremy Menez, Mateus Uribe and Andres Ibarguen.
The Xolos are fittingly the underdogs in this match, but should not go down without a decent fight. Club Tijuana’s lineup has also been confirmed and it will look like this: Gibran Lajud, Luis Martinez, Luis Fuentes, Juan Carlos Valenzuela, Diego Braghieri, Kevin Balanta, Diego Gonzalez, Ignacio Rivero, Antonio Nava, Miller Bolanos, Daniel Lopez.
Xolos’ boss Oscar Pareja really seems to be prioritizing the upcoming Liga MX match against Club America as he left Ariel Nahuelpan, Gustavo Bou and Fabian Castillo on the bench. Pareja also opted to start three youngsters in Antonio Nava, Luis Martinez and Daniel Lopez, instead of the required two players.
With the youngsters in the attack, Miller Bolanos will need to lead the offense as Pareja will also need to look at his bench for support.
