Mexican heavyweights Monterrey and Club America battle in round nine of Liga MX when they square off at Estadio BBVA on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Andre Jardine’s Club America suffering a disappointing home defeat against Guadalajara.
German Berterame grabbed the headlines for Monterrey last Sunday, when he netted the only goal of the game to hand them a 1-0 victory over Queretaro at the Estadio Corregidora.
Since their opening-day blip on July 14, when they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Pachuca, Domènec Torrent’s side have won each of their subsequent seven games, scoring 18 goals and keeping three clean sheets in that time.
With 21 points from a possible 24, Monterrey are currently second in the Liga MX Apertura standings. However, they can become the league leaders if they win this game.
After the 2-1 defeat against Guadalajara at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, Club America have picked up 17 points from their eight Liga MX matches so far to sit third in the league standings, one point above fourth-placed Club Tijuana.
Monterrey vs Club America Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With 25 wins from the last 64 meetings between the sides, Club America boasts a superior record in the history of this fixture.
- Monterrey have picked up 20 wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on 19 occasions.
- Monterrey have won each of their last five home games in the Liga MX, stretching back to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Pachuca in April.
- Club America are unbeaten in their last four away games in the league, having failed to win any of the five matches preceding this run.
Monterrey vs Club America Prediction
Monterrey and Club America have enjoyed a solid start to the campaign and find themselves separated by just four points in the upper echelons of the table.
While another action-packed contest is on the cards at Estadio BBVA, we predict Torrent’s men do just enough to secure all three points in front of their home supporters.
Prediction: Monterrey 2-1 Club America
