It's game one of two in the CONCACAF Champions League as América host Atlanta United. This is a Quarter-finals fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Major League Soccer game only four days ago.
América's stadium, Estadio Azteca, has a grass surface. Atlanta United have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Atlanta United when playing on grass; 15 wins, 2 draws and 15 losses from 32 matches. They have scored 48 goals in these games and conceded 55.
It's quite the trip for Atlanta United when visiting América as the cities are 2700 kilometers apart.
América form and stats
The story so far in the Liga MX for América at their home stadium (Estadio Azteca) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.
América travelled for their previous game, a trip to Pumas UNAM that ended 3-3. Preceding that match was a Liga MX defeat to Necaxa (0-3).
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The match schedule is unforgiving for América as they have a new game in only four days, a Liga MX match thankfully also at home. Cruz Azul are visiting.
América are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
Atlanta United form and stats
Atlanta United's mission in CONCACAF Champions League last season failed in the quarter-finals.The story so far for the visiting team on their Major League Soccer travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
Ezequiel Barco and Emerson Hyndman scored in Atlanta United's previous match, the home game against Cincinnati that ended 2-1. Prior to that result Atlanta United won their away game at Nashville SC in the Major League Soccer. The scoreline was 2-1.
A new game in only three days for Atlanta United, the Major League Soccer home match versus Sporting KC. Busy days.
2 goals so far away for Atlanta United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
