América form and stats

It's not happening yet for América on their Liga MX travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in América's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Impressive finishing from Martín (2) secured the home win 2-1 against Juárez in their previous game. Martín has bagged at least one goal for this side three fixtures in a row. The flair! Martín, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.53. Martín scored two goals, hit two key passes and had 18 successful passes (of 21 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leon wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

América have another game that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a Liga MX game versus Pachuca. A gruelling schedule for the visiting team!

América have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that América concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
