Club America looking to start with a win

After losing the final of the Apertura phase on penalties to Monterrey, Club America will be looking to go one further and win this Clausura phase. On paper, the hosts are undoubtedly one of the strongest outfits in Liga MX and they’ll be desperate for a win on Sunday to ensure they kick their closing stage campaign off in positive fashion.

Having got the better of Tigres in the quarter-finals of the Aperutra play-offs, Club America bring a psychological advantage into the game but will also be aware of the strength of the visitors. Indeed, Club America lost the home leg of said play off tie 2-1 but managed to turn things around with a 4-2 away win; results that also shows this fixture tends to be an exciting one.

Tigres gunning for revenge

Meanwhile, Tigres’ aforementioned play-off defeat to Club America has them coming into this game desperate for revenge. The loss was a hugely disappointing one for the side and having drawn at home to San Luis in last weekend’s Clausura opener, they come into Sunday’s match desperate for a win and revenge over the hosts.

On paper, Tigres are arguably the strongest side in the division and they’ll certainly be expecting to challenge for the closing phase title. Nonetheless, some defensive irregularity has crept into their game in recent matches, with both nets having been hit in 4 of their last 5 and that’s a theme they’ll be hoping to put an end to swiftly. 

Goals are expected at both ends

Ultimately, Sunday’s game has everything needed to be an exciting affair. Both sides are very strong and evenly matched, have attacking talent in abundance and consistently show a clear desire to play on the front foot and take the initiative in matches.

All things considered, backing Both Teams to Score simply has to be the way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. Both teams have scored in the last 4 meetings between the two, including twice just mere weeks ago and we think that streak will continue via a 1-1 draw; a scoreline reflecting the equal ability of the two outfits.
