The Liga MX league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. América and Santos Laguna are placed 1st and 8th respectively.
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.
Santos Laguna have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Santos Laguna form and stats
The Liga MX season is young and Santos Laguna have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Monterrey (placed 7th) in their previous outing. The Liga MX match ended in a draw 2-2. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Guadalajara.
Goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Monterrey. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.
