Columbus Crew vs América: Team news
The 2023 MLS Cup champions enter this match unbeaten in their past three games, two of them ending with a win for Wilfried Nancy's men. Their most recent clash saw the Crew claim a 4-3 win against Orlando in one of the best matches of the past weekend. Columbus will be playing their second Campeones Cup match in history, following their two-nil win over Cruz Azul in 2021. The team's chances of success will rely heavily on what Cucho Hernández and Diego Rossi can do for their cause, with Hernández being one of the best players in the ongoing MLS season and with Rossi's skills being so praised that even their rivals on Wednesday tried to lure him to Liga MX this summer.
Meanwhile, América get to this game in what could be labeled as their worst form in over a year, as they have not been able to establish their game as they did in the previous season, where they won back-to-back titles. Las Águilas enter this fixture after rescuing one point in Aguascalientes with a stoppage-time goal by Henry Martín, but their previous two wins give their fans hope for what will come in the next few weeks. Added to the goalscoring skills owned by the aforementioned Martíns, América will be looking forward to the contributions of players such as Álvaro Fidalgo, Brian Rodríguez, and the Chilean duo featuring Diego Valdés and Víctor Dávila, who have the necessary skills to give América their first Campeones Cup title following their loss in the 2019 edition.
Unavailable players: Columbus will enter this game with only one absence, as goalie Evan Bush is the only unavailable member of the Crew for this fixture. The same cannot be said about América, who will have to make do without Israel Reyes, Erick Sánchez, and Igor Lichnovsky, who have been ruled out of the game, and a potential fourth absence in Nestor Araujo, who left the pitch against Necaxa last weekend with an apparent muscular problem.
