Club America will be looking to add to their good stretch of form come Saturday on the road against Santos Laguna. After their midweek stomping against New England Revolution, Las Aguilas will be eager to step on the pitch and once more showcase their prowess. With the potential of having a fully fit squad once again, Andre Jardine will have his full arsenal at his disposal. The question will now be if he features them from the start or not. With the end of the regular season approaching, maintaining themselves at the top of the table will be crucial. Meaning all three points are crucial for America's season.

Preview: Santos Laguna vs Club America Clausura 2024

Keeping Up Rhythm

It seems that the international break served Club America well. Regardless of the injuries sustained during that time, America looks to of gained form back. Two wins out of two isn't much to boast about, but the team looks sharper on the pitch. It will be important that America continues to add to the good stretch of form they are finding. Santos will be a tough test away on the road. Even if the Laguneros haven't been at their very best, they will be itching to get a result against America. We're winding down to the latter end of the season ahead of the Liguilla playoffs. Anyone will tell you the most important part of heading into the playoffs is finding your rhythm. So this game will be perfect to keep adding to that rhythm that is so detrimental to America's season.

Finding Balance in the Squad

Club America this week would have traveled well over three thousand miles. With such a heavy travel imposed on this squad, finding balance with in the starting eleven will be crucial. Andre Jardine will have his work cutout for him. The positive of all is that he will count with all his players. Julian Quiñones trained with the team this week and looks to be in good shape. Add on top of that the return of Alvaro Fidalgo, Alejandro Zendejas and Diego Valdes and this America team has all their missing pieces back. With their second leg in the Champions Cup still to think about, I would expect America to make certain key changes ahead of this match against Santos. No game should be taken to lightly but with the squad depth this team has they can afford to sit two, maybe even three starters come Saturday night.

What To Expect From America vs Santos?

There isn't a magic eight ball to tell us exactly what will happen this Saturday at the Estadio Corona, but we can expect America to come all out. Maybe not necessarily all out regarding the starting eleven but in the way they approach to play the the game. I expect we will see a resemblance of the Atlas game this season. In where America was aggressive from the start and unsettled the defense, attacking space and using speed on the wings to jump the lines. On top of that America has showed that they continue to be a possession based team and will try to keep the ball at their feet majority of the game. It will be important they continue to create chances and breaking down defenses who plan on sitting back. While also securing their backline and stop Santos in their wake. Another clean sheet would be perfect for a backline that has been impressive alongside goalkeeper Luis Angel Malagon.

Conclusion

As Club America gears up to Face Santos Laguna, all eyes are on Las Aguilas to continue their commendable performance. Solidifying their standing atop of the league table. With the team potentially at full strength, America fans have every reason to be optimistic about this game. The match against Santos presents a pivotal opportunity to not just secure crucial points but to maintain the rhythm and cohesion they have started to acquire. As the clash at the Estadio Corona looms, America stands on the precipice of turning a good stretch into a great season. Proving once again why they are the most feared team in Liga MX.
