Liga MX Clausura action returns this week as Mazatlan entertain Club America at the Estadio de Mazatlán on Wednesday.
The game was originally scheduled to take place during matchday two, so there are no other games in the league during the week.
Both clubs secured their first wins of the ongoing campaign in their previous outings. The hosts overcame Tijuana 2-0 on Saturday while Club America secured a hard-fought 3-2 away win at Santos Laguna. Bruno Valdez scored an own goal but redeemed himself in the second half with the winning strike from the penalty spot.
Mazatlan vs Club America Head-to-Head
The hosts were established in June 2020, so there have been just three meetings between the two sides so far. Club America have maintained a 100% record against their western rivals, conceding just one goal while scoring six.
They last met in Apertura action last September at Estadio Azteca with the game ending in a 2-0 win for Las Águilas.
