Club America face the Portland Timbers in a crucial Leagues Cup group stage match on Wednesday (Augsut 6) at Q2 Stadium, Austin.
America know the importance of this fixture as they are placed 10th in the Liga MX points table in the Leagues Cup. Portland Timbers lead the group with six points from two wins, having conceded no goals so far, including a 4-0 win over Atlético San Luis and a 1-0 victory over Queretaro.

Club America have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight competitive games and have conceded five goals across their two Leagues Cup matches, highlighting defensive struggles. Portland Timbers stand out as the only team yet to concede a goal in the tournamen
This will be the third competitive meeting between Club América and Portland Timbers. They previously met in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals, where Club América won 3-1 at Estadio Azteca and drew 1-1 in Portland. América holds a 1-0-1 record against the Timbers, giving them a slight historical advantage, though current form favors Portland.
Club América's squad features new signing José Raúl Zúñiga, who scored in their recent draw, but they might miss midfielder Santiago Naveda due to a muscle injury. Captain Henry Martín may have limited minutes because of a recent muscular issue. Portland Timbers will be without winger Jonathan Rodríguez (knee injury), but Brazilian forward Antony, with 6 goals and 7 assists in MLS this season, is back to strengthen the attack. The rest of the Timbers squad is fit and ready.
Club América (5-3-2): Malagón; Álvarez, Reyes, Cáceres, Juárez, Borja; Dos Santos, Sánchez, Fidalgo; Zendejas, Zúñiga.
Portland Timbers (4-2-3-1): Pantemis; Mosquera, Miller, Zuparic, Bravo; Chará, Paredes; Moreno, Evander, Antony; Mora.
