América will play host to Tijuana at Estadio Azteca in Liga MX Clausura action on Monday.
América vs Tijuana Preview
The second championship of the Liga MX season, known as Clausura 2023, enters matchday eight, with Monterrey leading the standings with 18 points. Club América, who topped the Apertura - the first championship - currently rank third with 13 points. They already sit in the playoffs zone but are aiming for the top spot.
Águilas have won Liga MX a record 13 times but their last title was in 2018. They emerged as top favorites to clinch the Apertura 2022 after topping the table but were eventually knocked out in the semi-finals of the final phase. América are unbeaten in their last eight games but suffered a 2-0 setback when they last met Tijuana.
The visitors sit 14th on seven points in the Clausura 2023 standings. They finished 17th in the Apertura 2022 regular season, failing to qualify for the reclassification and the quarterfinals. This time, Club Tijuana are hoping to sail into the qualification playoffs zone, which begins from the 12th spot to the fifth.
Los Xolos were defeated 2-1 in their last league contest by Guadalajara but won their previous game at home 1-0 against San Luis. They have been unsuccessful on the road in their last five trips. Tijuana have been unable to claim bragging rights in their last five visits to Estadio Azteca. They will give it another shot on Monday.
