Club America will invite arch-rivals Chivas to Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 on Wednesday. They met in the first leg in Guadalajara last week and an own goal from Sebastián Cáceres helped Chivas register a 1-0 home win.
The two teams met in the Liga MX Clausura phase on Saturday and played out a goalless draw. Substitute Cade Cowell was sent off just four minutes after coming off the bench.
The hosts have failed to score in their last two games and will look to return to goalscoring ways here. Guadalajara, meanwhile, have kept clean sheets in their last three games.

Álvaro Fidalgo, Henry Martín, and Kevin Álvarez were on the bench in the Liga MX match on Saturday and should return to the starting XI here.
Rojiblancos have been in good touch recently, winning three of their last five games in all competitions. They are unbeaten in their last five away games in the Champions Cup, recording three wins and will look to extend that run here.
