América vs Guadalajara - Team news

Las Águilas make it to this game full of confidence after an away win, but wary not to repeat their mistakes from last week. The team coached by Fernando Ortíz did not handle their lead over San Luis too well and came close to being eliminated by a less talented team. Now, América will try to establish their dominance over Guadalajara en route to the final. The team will certainly expect to see a proper performance by the league's top scorer, Henry Martín, and by playmaker Diego Valdés, who has been in fine form during the Liguilla, and a good run by both of them will certainly bring their team closer to the title clash.

On the other hand, Guadalajara will appeal to their history and legacy to try and turn things around here. Vejko Paunovic's team only lost two games on the road this season, which gives them a bit of hope for this game. Nevertheless, they will need to see players such as Víctor Guzmán and Alexis Vega stepping up, mainly because they are the most talented members of this team and they are yet to score a goal in this postseason. Winning here is the only option for Guadalajara, and it will surely be interesting to see how their talented but young players react to such pressure.

Although no one wants to miss out on such a game, there will be some absences for each team. Here is the list of players that will not feature in this match.

América: Álvaro Fidalgo (doubtful).

Guadalajara: José Juan Macías (injured).

América vs Guadalajara - What each team needs to reach the final

After Thursday's game, where América claimed a one-nil lead, Las Águilas could make the finals if they can win the match, if the match ends in a draw, or even if they lose the game by a one-goal margin. On the other hand, Guadalajara need to win the match to make the title clash, but the issue here is that the red and white side need to win by a two-goal margin to make it to the Liga MX final. There will be an added bonus for the winner of this tie, as they will host the return leg of the final regardless of who makes it to the defining series of the competition.
