There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
América form and stats
14 points is a decent return from 7 Liga MX games here at Estadio Azteca for América. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
