America will seek to beat Tigres as the away team in the second leg of the Semifinals of the Apertura 2017 of Liga MX.

América and Tigres will face each other in the Semifinals of Liga MX in search of the first ticket to the Grand Final, where the felinos took a 1-0 lead in the first leg match at Estadio Azteca.

It is worth mentioning that América's best performance in the tournament was as a visitor, obtaining six victories, while at Estadio Azteca they only got three; so 19 of their total 30 points were achieved away from home.

As a host, Miguel Herrera's team scored nine goals and conceded seven, however as visitors they scored 14 times and conceded 11.

Nevertheless, the scenario does not look easy for the azulcremas as they will face one of the best offenses in the tournament; Tigres.

Managed by 'Tuca' Ferretti, the feline squad was one of the worst visitors, as they only achieved two victories in nine matches, with four draws and three defeats, scoring 11 goals and conceding 13.

However, the UANL team showed to be lethal at home, as they played eight matches in which they did not lose any, winning seven and drawing one. They also scored 17 goals and only conceded three as hosts.

Only two points separated these two teams in the general table and now, in the Semifinals, Tigres has the advantage after defeating América 1-0 at Coloso de Santa Úrsula.

Despite that, América demonstrated that no opponent's field intimidates them, which is why this Saturday, December 2, they could surprise 'Tuca's' team, having the away goal factor on their side.

Therefore, 'Piojo' Herrera's team must secure the victory in the second leg match, since if the overall score is tied at 1-1, the felinos would advance to the final stage, which is why América must score at least two goals and not concede more than one to seal the match, as a global draw of 2-2 or more would give the advantage to the capital team.

The match will be played at 19:00 hours at Estadio Universitario, where we will find out the first finalist of this Apertura 2017.
