A new Liga MX adventure is ready to kick off and this is the first proper fixture for América and Atlas. Let's go!
América and Atlas should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
América form and stats
América could celebrate like crazy last season after winning the Liga MX. Home supporters are hoping for more of the same this season. In the home games here at Estadio Azteca they witnessed 7 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. In total the trophy was secured after W10 - D5 - L2 from 17 games.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

América have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and two practice matches played.
