Monterrey host Club America at the Estadio BBVA in the Liga MX on Saturday (October 28).

Rayados enter the clash off two straight wins, against Tijuana (3-1) and UNAM (1-0). The last time they lost at home to Club America was in February 2020 in a Torneo Clausura clash (1-0). Monterrey have four wins in their last five home games across competitions.
