Apart from the hot-form Cruz Azul, the other team that's having a great run in the Mexican league is América. The team from the nation's capital city just lost one game in the last six, which in fact they won it on the pitch, but for including a player who wasn't registered previously they lost the three points. However, the team that coaches Santiago Solari had a strong start to the competition as they hope to fight for the trophy.

América holds an impressive record from the last meetings against Tijuana. The Aguilas have lost just once in the past 11 games in which they faced each other, having won six of those. They also defeated Xolos by 4-0 in their last clash.
