Mazatlán will host América in a game that has everything to be good this coming Friday. With 10 games and 11 points added, the host team will seek to improve their recent performances, as they have drawn their last two games – against Juárez and Querétaro.
América, in turn, is coming off four consecutive victories in the competition and seems unbeatable at the moment. The team of the legendary goalkeeper Ochoa made only 9 games and won 16 points, in addition to having scored 20 goals.
It will be a very interesting confrontation, between two teams that have many reasons to win the match. For Mazatlán it means putting aside the series of bad results and showing, once and for all, the strength they have playing in their domains. For América, it means to continue chasing the leader Monterrey and demonstrating that they are always favorites to win the Liga MX title.

Why Bet on Mazatlán?
Mazatlán occupies 10th place in the Liga MX with its 11 points conquered in these first 10 games of the tournament. The team has not been able to impose its game at home and, because of that, it has lost some points, playing in its stadium, against bigger teams.
Among so many traditional teams in Mexican football, Mazatlán, formerly Morelia, seeks to establish itself, year after year, as one of the most respected teams in Mexico, but they know there is still a long way to go.
Goalkeeper Nicolás Vikonis has been the best player on the team, which means that the team has been attacked constantly. Mazatlán scored 12 goals but has already conceded 13. This imbalance needs to be quickly adjusted so that the team can think about reaching higher flights in the Mexican league. Beating America at home would be the best opportunity to prove that this is a great team and that it can compete with anyone in the country.
Why Bet on América?
América is very close to first place and their fewer games can make the difference up front if they win these remaining matches. The team is coming off an incredible 4 wins in a row.
The team’s last game was memorable: 7-0 against Cruz Azul, which is one of the most traditional teams in Mexico. Before that, they beat Pachuca and Pumas by a score of 3-0. This great campaign has also attracted the public’s attention to the team’s defensive system, as they haven’t conceded a single goal in the last three matches.
Facing an irregular Mazatlán can be another good opportunity to get closer to the top positions in the table, placing itself, definitely, as one of the strongest contenders for the title this season. It will be an unmissable game!
Final Betting Analysis: Mazatlán vs. América
Looking at the recent momentum of the two teams and looking at the reviews of the main bookmakers, it seems unwise not to bet on America at this point – even playing away from home.
Mazatlán has not created so many difficulties for their opponents, while America has been a rather indigestible visitor. It certainly won’t be the easiest match, but we believe in a 3-0 victory for America.
