Cruz Azul vs América - Team news
Cruz Azul return to a Liga MX final following their successful run that ended with a 23-year drought back in 2021. La Máquina reached this stage of the competition by finishing the regular season in second place. Once in the playoffs, Cruz Azul eliminated Pumas with a 4-2 aggregate, product of a 2-0 win and a 2-2 draw. Next up, Martín Anselmi's men claimed their spot in the final thanks to the tiebreaker against Monterrey, which gave them the edge over Rayados after a 2-2 draw in aggregate. In the postseason, La Máquina has thrived thanks to the contributions of players such as Lorenzo Faravelli, who has found the back of the net twice in four matches.
On the other side of the pitch, América reach this tie as defending champions and having ended the regular season at the top of the table. During the playoffs, things have not been as easy for América, since they were forced to eliminate Pachuca thanks to the tiebreaker after a 2-2 draw in aggregate, and then went on to kick Chivas out of the competition with a narrow one-nil score. Just like in their previous championship, Las Águilas will rely on Henry Martín and Julián Quiñones to score their goals, something that has happened in this playoff stage with each of them finding the back of the net once.
Unfortunately, there will be some key players that might be sidelined for this match. Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this crucial Liga MX match.
Cruz Azul: Gabriel Fernández (injured).
América: Kevin Álvarez, Illian Hernández (injured); Sebastián Cáceres (doubtful).
