León vs América - How they reach the playoffs

León made it to the finals in eighth place, following a season where they won six games, lost six, and drew five. Nicolás Larcamón's team had to go through the play-in stage to secure a spot in the Liguilla, and even if they lost the first match against San Luis, they secured a playoff spot by beating Santos in a thrilling 3-2 clash.

On the other side of the pitch, América enter Nou Camp Stadium on a sixteen-game streak without a loss, which includes twelve wins and four draws. Their most recent game ended in a goalless draw against Tigres, although they had decided to rest most of their players to avoid any injuries or suspensions.

León vs América - Team news

Los Esmeraldas get to this game in better shape than their visitors, as they did not rest for as long as América did. Nonetheless, their play-in victory over Santos came with a big cost, since two of their best players are out for this game due to different issues.

Meanwhile, América have used the pause in the competition to recover some of their best players, although they will still have to deal with some injury absences. The good news for Los Azulcremas is that their top performers this season will be available to play, although coach André Jardiné has not clarified if they will be part of the starting lineup or will come in as substitutes.

Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this Liga MX clash.

León: Fidel Ambriz (suspended). Lucas Romero (injured).

América: Nestor Araujo, Brian Rodríguez (injured). Kevin Álvarez (doubtful).
