Club America and Guadalajara return to action in the Mexican Liga MX when they lock horns at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes on Saturday. Having failed to win the last four meetings between the two teams (3L, 1D), the Chivas will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and secure their first away victory of the season.
Club America were outplayed and outclassed by MLS outfit DC United during the international break as they fell to a 3-1 loss when the two sides squared off in a friendly last Sunday.
Head coach Andre Jardine will urge his side to brush off that result as they turn their focus to Liga MX, where they have won each of their last four games and are one of just two teams unbeaten after the first seven matches (5W, 2D).
Club America have picked up 17 points from the first 21 available in the league to sit second in the standings, one point behind first-placed Monterrey.
In contrast, Guadalajara picked up a morale-boosting result during the break as they struck twice in the final 10 minutes of normal time to secure a 2-1 victory over Club Leon in their friendly clash last Sunday.
The Chivas will hope the friendly result can serve as a springboard for an upturn in form in the league, where they have failed to win their last four matches, losing three and claiming one draw since scraping a 4-3 victory over Atletico San Luis in July.
With just four points from six matches, Guadalajara are currently 16th in the Liga MX table, level on points with Queretaro and rock-bottom Mazatlan, albeit with one game in hand.
