Club America
Club America has been one of the best teams in the league. They’ve won their last seven matches and only conceded three goals.
After a phase of back-to-back losses, the team has finally found its rhythm and is here to make an impact in the league. They are presently sitting in the first position.
They have the chance to seal their spot for the playoffs if they win the game against Atletico San Luis. Although mathematically, they are not out of the woods even with a win, it is difficult to see any team taking their spot in the top 12 at the end of the regular season. It is their position to lose now.
The team has had numerous periods. Some were bad, and others were good. It has pushed them to the first position, and they would need to continue on that path if they want to finish in the first position.
Club America Challenge for Liga MX First Position
They would need to win their next five games, but that is a tough challenge, especially in the Liga MX.
We don’t expect any changes to the team that played the last match, except for Bruno Valdez, who got injured in the 41st minute.
We might even see him feature because it was reported that it isn’t an extensive injury. Therefore, we will be expecting the team to maintain their shape and go for a massive win in their match.
Atletico San Luis
On the other hand, Atletico San Luis’s form is different. The team has only had three wins this season compared to America’s eight.
Two out of the three wins came in the last five games, where they won two, lost one, and drew two. It has been their best run of form so far this season.
The team can do better than they’ve done, and if they want to make it to the playoffs, they need to make better decisions. In that case, we expect them to try and win the game against Atletico San Luis.
Atletico San Luis as the Underdogs
It is not an easy feat, especially as they have +600 odds. They are the clear underdogs, but it is not a surprise, given their current stats and performance.
We expect Andre Jardine to be more pragmatic in this game because it would help them do better.
However, it would limit them offensively, which has been poor, given that they’ve only scored 11 goals this season. In that case, they would need to do better than they’ve been since the start of the season.
With Jardine not available on the touchline because of his red card against Tijuana, the team won’t have their coach during the game.
And to pile on the woes, the team would also be without Ricardo Chavez. It is not a complete team, and because of that, they would struggle more than usual.
America vs. Atletico San Luis Pick and Prediction
Club America needs three points to push its agenda forward and get closer to finishing the season in the first position.
Meanwhile, Atletico de San Luis would have to pick up three points to maintain a finish in the top 12 positions.
Therefore, it won’t be an easy game. The teams have something to play for, making it hard for either side.
America vs. Atletico San Luis: A Tight Game
In that case, we expect a tight game, even though the odds suggest that Club America would have an easy ride to victory.
However, after looking at the stats and performances over the last few games, we would follow the odds for our Liga MX predictions for this tie.
Our America vs Atletico San Luis pick and prediction are Club America to win and over 2.5 goals.
Liga MX Pick: America (-222)
