Club América will head to the border as they face Tijuana in their opening match of the Clausura 2024. The Águilas are known to have a slow start at the beginning of a season, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they struggle against Xolos. They lost their first match of the Apertura, but that shouldn’t be the case this time around considering they are coming off one of their best seasons yet that ended with a title.
Defeating the reigning champions would be a giant positive for Tijuana, considering how they’ve struggled the past few seasons. Head coach Miguel ‘Piojo’ Herrera returned to coach Tijuana in February 2023 after he first coached the team between 2015-2017.
