Tijuana will cross fingers that their home advantage is enough to get a victory from this strenuous encounter, versus lively América.
- Tijuana have the most conceded goals (27) in Liga MX
- América have the most clean sheets (16) in Liga MX
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting América have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-1 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
América have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
These are full days for the hometeam, as they had a game only four days ago in the Liga MX. That game was an away game at Pachuca, so at least Tijuana are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
