The league table in Liga MX tells a story about these teams so far, with América leading Mazatlán by 7 points. Match preview to follow:
América have less rest than Mazatlán in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Liga MX game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Atlético San Luis, so at least América are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
América form and stats
América must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Liga MX games here at Estadio Azteca.
Happy days for América in their previous game, a Liga MX match away at Atlético San Luis (placed 17th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Preceding that match was the home game against Monterrey that was lost 1-3.
Goals are plentiful at Estadio Azteca in the league this season as América has scored 8 goals here in 3 home games. 4 goals have been conceded.
Mazatlán form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Liga MX for Mazatlán with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Mazatlán seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Mazatlán's last game was the home draw against Tigres UANL (1-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pachuca wasn't a success with a 3-4 loss.
The draw against Tigres UANL came from a losing position. The Mazatlán manager J. Palencia Hernández brought on Miguel Sansores as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Mazatlán have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. For Mazatlán, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
