Liga MX: Two squads who have performed nicely as yet. Get smart on América - Guadalajara with this full guide!

Insights:
  • América have the most scored goals in the first half (9) in Liga MX
  • América have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Guadalajara have scored away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Guadalajara have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-16-8 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.

Both teams have had time to rest since their last exertion in an official match. Let's hope for an enthusiastic match!
