Cruz Azul v.s. America: El Clásico Joven has the makings for an entertaining match.

Cruz Azul is very optimistic about the match after winning the last two games away from home. Against Mazatlán and Tijuana with a score of 3-2 and 2-1, respectively. Since the start of the season, the hosts have won eight of the 11 matches played so far in the Liga MX de Apertura.

For their part, America is coming off a victory in El Super Clasico against Chivas Guadalajara during their last match of the competition (1-0), thanks to a goal from Giovani dos Santos. They intend to maintain their winning streak at the Cruz stadium Blue. To this date, La Maquina has been victorious in eight of their 11 games, going 8-1-2 in the 2020 Guardianes season.

While playing at home, Cruz Azul has won five times in as many games played so far, thus becoming a difficult team to beat at home. In the away role, America has a balance of three wins, one loss, and one draw in five games it has played so far, so they will have to play confident in their duel with Cruz Azul to take the victory.

The two rivals have met before at Cruz Azul’s home. The numbers show ten losses and six draws in favor of the local team. Also, the locals have a total of two games in a row, beating their rivals in this competition. The last time both teams faced off Liga MX was in July 2020, and the match ended with a score of 1-4 for Cruz Azul. Cruz Azul has arguably been the hottest team going back to last season. This moment is their time to shine and make a statement with a victory, but America has a talented roster, and El Piojo has done a masterful job with his team. Do not be surprised in you see a 2-2 draw here.
