Your numbers
With Quiñones and the Mexican Henry Martín, América will go out in search of three points at the “Chivas” home, but they will have to be cautious because Gago’s team is injured after being beaten 3-0 by Cruz Azul in the tournament. league and will go out to satisfy his anger in search of goals in his stadium.
América is fourth in the Clausura tournament classification with 21 points, six more than Chivas, in ninth place. The “Azulcremas” have scored three more goals than “Chivas” and have conceded seven fewer in the Clausura, but the data will not be of much use because it is another tournament and because in a derby there is usually plenty of precedent.
“Chivas” of Guadalajara will seek to do damage with Cade Cawell, Ricardo Marín and Roberto Alvarado, but Gago will design a pattern on the field in which, first of all, the defense remains orderly.
The duel between the two most emblematic teams in Mexico will be the first of three between them, on Wednesday the 13th they will play the return duel in Concacaf and on the 16th they will face each other in the Clausura. The winner of the series will face the best between Alajuelense of Costa Rica and the New England Revolution of the MLS in the quarterfinals.
