The first of two encounters in the CONCACAF Champions League 8th Finals, as the hometeam Comunicaciones will try to edge América in their own ballpark.
It's no vacation for neither Comunicaciones nor América as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as América have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Comunicaciones form and stats
3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga Nacional numbers at home for Comunicaciones so far this season.
A nice win for Comunicaciones last time playing, versus Mixco. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0. Preceding that match was the home Liga Nacional game against Antigua GFC that was lost 1-2.
There will be little rest for Comunicaciones after this match as they are travelling to Siquinala for a Liga Nacional game in only two days.
Comunicaciones has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Comunicaciones have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
América form and stats
América are happy with their away performances in the Liga MX so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but América are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Impressive finishing from Federico Viñas (2) secured the home win 2-0 against Atlas in their previous game. Prior to that result América won their away game at Querétaro in the Liga MX. The scoreline was 2-1.
América has another fixture away, a Liga MX game, against Monterrey in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
América find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. América are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
