América form and stats

América, who have the most scored goals (12) in Liga MX, must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Liga MX games here at Estadio Azteca.

América's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Monterrey (placed 5th). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Querétaro.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how América have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost one.

América are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (8 goals in 3 games). On the other hand, América have conceded 4 goals.

Monterrey form and stats

Monterrey are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Liga MX, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

It's the second away game in a row for Monterrey, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus América (placed 3rd) in the Liga MX last time out. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Necaxa.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Monterrey playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were five Monterrey wins, two draws and four defeats.

Monterrey have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Monterrey have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
