América host Monterrey in Liga MX, with the home side sitting 2nd in the table while the visitors are 10th. Both have played 9 matches, but the points gap between them is considerable. This is therefore a game the home side want to win to protect their position, while Monterrey need points to climb out of the mid-table zone. América this season have 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, scoring 21 and conceding 10 - numbers that say the attack is still producing goals consistently, but their recent form is not steady. They lost 0-2 in their last match and are without a win in 2 straight. Monterrey, meanwhile, have 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, scoring 16 and conceding 14. Their defence clearly concedes more than the home side, and they lost 2-4 in the league before winning their most recent match 1-0. The pattern from the last 10 matches shows Monterrey have more possession (57.4% against 51.7%) and more corners, but América have slightly more shots on target (6.6 per game against 5.5). According to the expected line-ups, América are likely to line up 4-4-2 with Henry Josue Martin Mex and Miguel Angel Borja Hernandez as the strike pair, while Monterrey are expected to use 4-2-3-1 with Hugo Cuypers as the lone striker. The visitors having a single striker should push their attack towards long balls and counter-attacking moments rather than building up in numbers. If the home side control the game and find chances through their strike pair first, the game is likely to tilt towards América rather than ending in a share of the points.
