Tigres UANL 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.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

América form and stats

3-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for América so far this season. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as América has won six games in a row. The Leon match was the last time out without a victory.

América enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Mazatlan's place. The match ended 3-1 with Valdés, Cáceres and Martín scoring. Midfield player Fidalgo got a match rating of 8.24 in that game, the max score being 10. Fidalgo signed up for two assists, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 63 successful passes (of 71 total).

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Queretaro.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how América have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for América as they have a new game in only three days, a Liga MX match thankfully also at home. Atletico San Luis are visiting.
