Club America and Monterrey battle for three points in a Liga MX Apertura matchday 14 fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming off a 2-2 draw at Club Tijuana in midweek.
They took the lead through Alex Zendejas' 26th-minute strike before Christian Rivera drew the game level from the spot in first-half injury time. Domingo Blanco put Tijuana ahead three minutes into the second half, but Rodrigo Aguirre equalised just past the midway point of the second half.
Monterrey, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a goalless home draw with UNAM Pumas. The stalemate left La Pandilla in third spot in the table, having garnered 25 points from 14 games, while Club America are 10th with 18 points.

Club America are the Clausara champions, having seen off Cruz Azul in the final with a 2-1 aggregate win in May. However, Andre Jardine's side have been indifferent in the Apertura, winning just one of their last five league games, losing once, which has left them 16 points off table-toppers Cruz Azul.
Monterrey, meanwhile, have also won just one of their last five league games but are better-positioned than America in the standings. However, expect the hosts to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
