América vs Monterrey - Team news

Las Águilas play their second game in a row at Azteca Stadium, hoping to claim their first win in front of their supporters after a 45-day drought. For this game, the team will not have coach Fernando Ortíz around, as he was handed a two-match ban after the game against León last week. In terms of the players' performances, fans may be expecting to see Alejandro Zendejas as a starter, following his stellar appearance last week against León, where he assisted Henry Martín for his 12th goal in the competition. If that is the case, then Leo Suárez could be benched to give way for the American footballer.

Monterrey will get to this game as the team with the best defensive unit and with the second most prolific attack (the first being América). Monterrey have won four in a row, including a 4-0 win in their last match against Tijuana, which may serve as the needed boost for Victor Manuel Vucetich's men, who have thrived when facing América in their recent matches. The game will also give fans a chance to see Rogelio Funes Mori in action, as he tries to cut Henry Martín's lead at the top of the goalscoring table.

Here is the list of absences for both sides ahead of this game.

América: Roger Martínez (injured).

Monterrey: Edson Gutiérrez (injured).
