América will have several absentees for this match, most notably the injury to Roger Martínez and the absence of Jurgen Damm, who has been training with the U-20 team for the last few days.

Should either of these two clubs win, they will assume the overall runner-up position in the competition, although they are still a long way behind Rayados of Monterrey.

A great match will be played at the Azteca Stadium when América will be doing the honors against Nicolás Larcamón's León. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the Liga MX Matchday 13 game.

He has received a lot of criticism from the Panzas Verdes fans, but he is also a man who has a love affair with the goal and the more he is supplied with balls in the air, the more he can open the scoring, so Lucas Di Yorio will be the player to watch today.

He is having one of his best seasons with 11 goals, but he is also a guy who participates in the offensive production due to his good technique, so Henry Martin hopes to continue increasing his scoring quota this Saturday.

30 Rodolfo Cota, 22 Adonis Frias, 24 Osvaldo Rodríguez, 21 Jaine Barreiro, 34 Oscar Villa, 3 Iván Moreno, 26 Fidel Ambríz, 11 Elías Hernández, 29 Lucas Romero, 18 Lucas Di Yorio, 20 José Alvarado.

33 Luis Malagón, 4 Sebastián Cáceres, 3 Israel Reyes, 26 Salvador Reyes, 23 Emilio Lara, 8 Álvaro Fidalgo, 6 Jonathan dos Santos, 11 Jonathan Rodríguez, 32 Leo Suárez, 10 Diego Valdés, 21 Henry Martín.

If there is something that Fernando Ortiz has defended, it has been that his pupils in every game go out to win and try to do so on the field, which is why they are generally closer to obtaining good results in this way.

"I don't know if it is the best of all. I am left with the peace of mind that the team goes out to win, tries to play good soccer. We took an important step towards growing as a team and positioning ourselves a little higher to be able to grow," he commented.

After an intermittent start in terms of results and performance, little by little, Nicolás Larcamón's León has created its own style and has already reflected it in results where it has six consecutive victories between Liga MX and Concachampions, so they are now quietly in second place and with the mission of qualifying directly to the Liguilla.

After the defeat against Tuzos del Pachuca, the Águilas del América have got back on track with two wins in a row and at the home of Chivas and Tigres, so they will be looking to continue in the same vein when they face the runner-up in the competition.

The America vs Leon match will be played at the Aztec Stadium, in Mexico City, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 21:05 pm ET.
