Club America vs Tigres UANL prediction, preview, team news and more | Liga MX 2021-22

Top side Club America host third-placed Tigres UANL at Estadio Azteca on Sunday in a big LIGA MX clash.

Las Aguilas are leading the Mexican top-flight at the top of the table with nine wins from 13 games and just a single defeat.

Former Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari, who led the side into the quarter-finals earlier this year, has run a taut ship once more at his disposal. The club will be looking to end a two-year wait for the league title.

Their rivals from Monterrey are also flying at the moment, sitting in third place with 22 points in the bag and well poised to qualify for the last eight once more.

Los Tigres added further momentum to their campaign with a resounding 3-0 vanquish of Pachuca on Thursday.
