Club America set out in search of their first win in five games when they visit the Estadio BBVA to face Monterrey in Liga MX on Wednesday. Martin Demichelis’ men will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last six competitive meetings since July 2022.
Monterrey were left disappointed at the weekend as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Pachuca after conceding twice in stoppage time at the Estadio Universitario.
Demichelis’ side have lost two of their most recent three outings, with a 3-1 home win over 10-man Guadalajara on April 6 sandwiched between the two defeats.
With 22 points from 15 Liga MX matches, Monterrey are currently ninth in the league standings, five points behind sixth-placed Pachuca in the final automatic playoff spot.
On the other hand, Club America failed to find their feet last time out as they were held to a goalless draw by Cruz Azul at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.
Andre Jardine’s men have gone four back-to-back matches without a win, a run which has seen them crash out of the CONCACAF Champions Cup courtesy of a 2-1 aggregate loss against Cruz Azul.
Club America have picked up 31 points from their 15 Liga MX matches so far to sit second in the league standings, two points behind first-placed Toluca.
Club America have seen their form decline in recent weeks and they will head into Wednesday’s tie in search of a morale-boosting result.
While we expect Monterrey to put up a fight, Jardine’s men boast the firepower needed to get the job done and we are tipping them to secure maximum points.

Tip 1: Result - Club America to win
Tip 2: Both sides to score - Yes (Both sides have scored in eight of their last 10 meetings)
