Queretaro entertain Club America at the Estadio Corregidora in Liga MX on Saturday on the inaugural matchday of the 2025 Clausura.
Queretaro had a dismal campaign in their first tournament of the season – the Apertura Regular phase. They finished second from bottom – 17th out 18 teams – and couldn’t qualify for the Liguilla - Final phase. That led to the sacking of head coach Mauro Gerk in December, with Benjamín Mora taking the helm of affairs.
Gallos Blancos will look to turn the page under their new manager, who will have eight winter arrivals, including forwards Daniel Lopez and Brian Rubio. This game comes as a tough test for the struggling hosts, though, who have lost thrice in their last five matches across competitions.
America, meanwhile, could pick up where they left off. They finished the first half of the season on a tear, defeating Monterrey in the final phase to win their fourth Apertura title. The visitors will be eager to finish the job by winning the Clausura and look for early momentum by winning their first game.
Águilas have had only one defeat in their last 15 matches, winning 10. They have lost once in their last five road outings. The last time America lost to Queretaro was in August 2020 in a league match, losing 4-1. America have won five times since then across competitions in eight games in the fixture.
