Club America vs Club Tijuana Prediction
The difference in form between the two sides means that there should ostensibly be only one winner here. Barring any unlikely upset, the hosts should cruise to victory on home turf.
Club America's effectiveness in attack should see them do enough in front of goal to win the game before shutting up shop at the back.
