Club America and Santos Laguna go head-to-head at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in round 12 of the Mexican Liga MX on Saturday. Having failed to win their last 11 meetings between the two teams, Francisco Rodriguez’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and secure their first away win of the year.
Club America turned in a stellar team display last Sunday when they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Pumas UNAM at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.
Before that, Alejandro Zendejas’ 89th-minute strike inspired them to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Atletico San Luis on September 25, a result which saw their three-game winless run come to an end.
Club America have picked up 24 points from their 11 Liga MX matches so far to sit third in the standings, one point behind league leaders Toluca.
On the other hand, Santos Laguna were sent crashing back down to earth last Sunday when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Monterrey at the Estadio BBVA.
Before that, Rodriguez’s men snapped their five-game winless run on September 25, when they held on to see out a 1-0 victory over Club Tijuana on home turf.
With 10 points from their 11 Liga MX matches, Santos Laguna are currently 15th in the league standings, level on points with 14th-placed San Luis.
