Why Bet on Club América?
Club América is the reigning champion of Mexican soccer, but its current situation is alarming, as it is far from its usual struggles for first place.
The bad moment of the Águilas can be confirmed by their last league match, as they were humiliated 4-1 by Cruz Azul. Georgios Giakoumakis, Ángel Sepúlveda, Alexis Gutiérrez, and Lorenzo Faravelli scored the goals for the Máquina Cementera.
The team coached by André Jardine is in a pitiful twelfth place, with only six points out of 18 played. Although they have one game less than some of their rivals, their position is far from what this capital club represents.
They have lost their two most recent matches, and their defense has been in trouble, allowing a total of 10 goals, while they have only converted on seven occasions.
They have only played twice as “locals.” However, they won one game and lost the other against a rival like Puebla, which is not one of the strongest in Mexico. It is important to remember that the Azteca Stadium is being remodeled, and that is why they are not playing at home.
There are several injury problems in this team: defender Igor Lichnovsky, creative Diego Valdés, and winger Alejandro Zendejas are out.In addition, defender Sebastián Cáceres has been out of the Uruguay national team with injuries.
Why Bet on Chivas?
Chivas is living a much better present than América, especially, because they are on a four-match unbeaten streak, but now they must confirm this against a great rival.
The Rebaño thrashed Juárez 5-0. The club is in sixth place with 11 points, five points behind the leader, Cruz Azul. They have taken 10 of their last 12 points, and their most recent loss was on July 12, when they fell 4-2 to Tijuana.
By conceding only five goals, their defense is one of the best in Liga MX, and the same can be said of their offense, which has scored 12 goals. The spotlight is on U.S. striker Cade Cowell, who has three goals and two assists. Armando González has the same number of goals.
Their away record is very even, with one win, one draw, and one loss, five goals scored, and the same number conceded.
Jesús Orozco could reappear this matchday, but Javier “El Chicharito” Hernández, who has not seen action since July, would not be as fortunate.
