Latest Los Angeles vs Club America team information
Timothy Tillman missed LAFC's most recent game against CF Montreal due to a foot injury, and the 26-year-old midfielder is likely to miss Sunday as well.
If Tillman does not recover in time, Frankie Amaya is a strong candidate to replace him in the starting lineup, and this will be his third start of the season.
After a slow start, Denis Bouanga has had 10 direct goal contributions in his last 8 games – a name to watch in this match.
As for Club America, Chilean midfielder Igor Lichnovsky is definitely absent due to a knee injury that has persisted since the beginning of last season.
21-year-old talent Patricio Salas has not been able to play again and still needs more time before joining the first team.
Latest expected lineup Los Angeles vs Club America
Los Angeles FC:
Lloris; Smolyakov, Long, Segura, Palencia; Amaya, Delgado, Jesus; Bouanga, Ebobisse, Ordaz
Club America:
Malagon; Borja, Caceres, Juarez, Reyes, Alvarez; Fidalgo, Dos Santos, Sanchez; Martin, Zendejas
Latest Los Angeles vs Club America football review
Los Angeles have established themselves as one of the top clubs in American soccer over the past five years, but a lack of success in continental competition has meant they have yet to make a single appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Coach Steve Cherundolo's team came closest to achieving that goal at the 2023 CONCACAF Champions Cup, but were comprehensively defeated 1-3 on aggregate by Leon in the two-legged final.
However, it was that defeat that opened the door for LAFC to make their first ever Club World Cup appearance, as they and Club America were awarded the right to replace the 2023 North American champions in the global tournament set to take place in the US next month.
The “Falcons” are no strangers to their upcoming opponents as the two teams have met three times in the past five years, although the most recent match was just a friendly in mid-February.
Coming into Sunday’s clash, LAFC are unbeaten in their last eight league games, making them a tough opponent to beat. However, they have only won three of those games.
The main reason is the lack of solidity and organization in the defense, when LAFC only kept 2 clean sheets and conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of the last 8 matches.
Unlike LAFC, Club America has participated in the Club World Cup in the past thanks to their record seven CONCACAF Champions Cup titles. However, their last appearance in this prestigious tournament was in 2016.
Coach Andre Jardine and his players were also continental runners-up four years ago after losing to Monterrey, and now they are given the chance to face LAFC for a ticket to the Club World Cup by being the highest-ranked CONCACAF club that has not yet reached the group stage.
Ahead of this weekend's showdown, Los Millonetas have won just one of their last four games and failed to score in their last two against Toluca.
A goalless draw and a 0-2 defeat to Toluca in just three days meant Club America had to accept runners-up spot in the Clausura LIGA MX, missing out on the chance to win back-to-back championships.
With little time for regrets, coach Jardine will have to quickly boost the team’s morale as they aim to qualify for the Club World Cup. However, with a poor away record – just one win in nine away games since March – the trip to Los Angeles promises to be a difficult one.
