How are América and Santos doing heading into the match?
América is the absolute leader of the Liga MX with 27 points, so far ahead that not even Tigres, the closest pursuer, could catch up. It is very likely that the capital team will finish Round 13 at the top.
Under the guidance of André Jardine, Águilas have found the ideal form for their team and the rhythm that has allowed them to accumulate points and victories, positioning themselves as favorites to win the tournament.
Bad news for the azulcremas is that they lost Diego Valdés, who got injured during Chile's match against Venezuela in the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the World Cup. The Brazilian coach will have to find an alternative to cover his absence.
On the other hand, Santos is looking to secure their position in the play-in zone and needs to accumulate points to achieve it. So far, they have 14 points but have had an irregular tournament.
The Laguneros lost 2-0 to León in Round 12 before the FIFA break, which makes them the victim team against the capital team. Additionally, they have only won once as visitors.
