America and Pumas will face each other in one of the “clasicos” of Liga MX. Both teams are going into the game with losses but America should be heavily favored over Pumas. Not only are America at home and have the better squad, but Pumas has been suffering from key injuries and will surely need a big jump in quality to remain competitive. Pumas fans would want to look for revenge from last season when America eliminated them from the Liguilla in crushing fashion (6-2 on aggregate).
Both America and Pumas had great starts to their seasons. Pumas was at the top of the league table until Week 4, and America bounced from an opening defeat to Necaxa to win three straight.
