Atletico San Luis will welcome Club America to Estadio Alfonso Lastras in their Liga MX Apertura campaign opener on Saturday. The hosts made it to the semi-finals of the Apertura playoffs last season but finished 13th in the Clausura earlier this year.
The visitors finished as the Clausura champions and also won the Supercopa MX last month.
The hosts had seen a drop in form in the final stages of the Clausura, suffering four consecutive losses but concluded their campaign with a 3-0 win over Santos Laguna.
The visitors concluded their Clausura campaign on a six-game unbeaten run and continued their form in the Supercopa MX last month. First-half goals from Javairô Dilrosun and Henry Martín helped them register a comeback 2-1 win over reigning Apertura champions Tigres UANL.

Atletico San Luis vs Club America Prediction
San Luis concluded their international break with a 3-0 home win over Tampico Madero and will look to build on that form.
Nonetheless, they have suffered defeats in their last two home games in the league, conceding eight goals, which is a cause for concern. They are winless at home in this fixture since 2019.
Águilas are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions and have won three of their last four games. They looked to be in good touch in the Supercopa MX last week and will look to continue their form here.
Israel Reyes, Kevin Álvarez, Igor Lichnovsky, Sebastián Cáceres, Brian Rodríguez, and Diego Valdés are not available for the campaign opener. Head coach André Jardine has a good squad depth and should be able to field a strong starting XI.
Considering the visitors' dominance in this fixture and impressive away record, Club America are expected to eke out a narrow win.
