Club America will be looking to move top of the Mexican Liga MX table when they visit the Jalisco Stadium to face Atlas on Saturday. Gonzalo Pineda’s men will aim to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last six clashes since January 2022.
Atlas picked up consecutive victories for the first time since July 2024 as they edged out Club Tijuana 4-3 in a thrilling matchup at the Estadio Caliente last Sunday.
Before that, Pineda’s side snapped their run of two consecutive defeats on March 3, when they secured a 3-1 victory over Atletico San Luis at the Jalisco Stadium.
Atlas have picked up 13 points from their 11 Liga MX matches so far to sit 13th in the league standings, level on points with Queretaro and Mazatlan.
Meanwhile, Club America turned in an attacking show of class last time out as they secured a 4-0 victory over Guadalajara in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup clash to complete a 4-1 aggregate victory and reach the quarter-finals.
Andre Jardine’s men now turn their sights to Liga MX, where they played out a goalless draw with Guadalajara on March 9 and are on a four-game unbeaten run, claiming two wins and two draws in that time.
Club America have picked up 24 points from their 11 league matches so far to sit second in the standings, two points behind first-placed Club Leon.
