Club America vs Olimpia prediction, preview, team news and more

Club America will aim to confirm their place in the CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals when they host Olimpia at the Estadio Azteca on Wednesday.

Las Águilas beat the Honduran side 2-1 away from home in the first leg. Quickfire goals from Federico Vinas and Sergio Diaz gave the Mexican side a huge advantage.

It was their eighth consecutive victory on the road and they will be confident of finishing the job this week.

Olimpia face an uphill task, as they must score at least twice to turn the tie around. However, no visiting side have managed to score two goals against America since Guadalajara in November last year.
