Club América will play host to Tigres UANL at Estadio Azteca in Liga MX Apertura on Sunday.
Club América have leapt from fifth spot to second place behind leaders Monterrey, who enjoy a two-point advantage thanks to an extra game played. Since they got back on their feet by the fifth matchday, Águilas have been unstoppable.
They have won their last five games home and away. Last season they finished fourth and have made the title their principal objective for the new campaign. América achieved their last league success four years ago in 2018 but are on track to seal a record 14th title.
Tigres UANL could have probably hit the summit of the standings by now if they had maintained their flawless streak. However, their campaign has stalled to fifth spot following a loss and three consecutive draws. That shouldn’t be cause for great concern as only 11 rounds of games have been played so far. Los Tigres finished second last season and are among the title hopefuls for the new term. América are an immense challenge for Tigres, whose last win and draw against Águilas date back to 2019.
One of the major causes of Tigres UANL’s setbacks has been red cards, with six issued already this term. They will hope to avoid disciplinary action in Mexico City.
