Club America Outlook

Club America saw the red-hot start to their 2021/2022 campaign cool off as the calendar turned to November. After earning at least a point in 16 of their first 17 non-friendly contests of the season, the Eagles have stumbled in their past two outings, scoring just one total goal while tallying losses in two straight road contests. Prior to last weekend’s loss to Cruz Azul, America was denied a record eighth all-time CONCACAF Champions League title by a narrow 1-0 loss to Monterrey.

While the defeat should provide them with plenty of motivation going into Saturday night’s contest, the Eagles have work to do revitalize a slumbering attack that has mustered more than a single goal just once in their past 10 outings across all competitions. While Club America has particularly struggled in recent contests on the road, they have fared far better when hosting opponents at Estadio Azteca, where they have racked up a sparkling 15-2-0 win-draw-loss record in 17 league matches since the beginning of 2021.

Although no single Eagles player has emerged as a driving force on offence, the club has benefited from distributed scoring during the first half of the Liga MX season. Alvaro Fidalgo has led the attack with four goals, while a trio of strikers have potted three markers including Salvador Reyes, who has also tallied a club-leading four assists.

CF Monterrey Outlook

While Club America has also ready clinched the top of the table, CF Monterrey enter the final weekend of Torneo Apertura action searching for their first win on the road since late September. Streakiness has been the keyword for Monterrey during the first half of the 2021/2022 campaign. The club suffered just one defeat during their first 13 outings across all competitions. However, Monterrey look to Saturday night’s contest on a 0-1-4 run in league play, which currently leaves them squarely on the Final Series playoff bubble in 10th place on the table, just two points up on 13th-place Atletico San Luis.

Like Club America, the Rayados have seen goals come at a premium. Monterrey have scored just two total goals during their current five-match swoon in league play. That scoring drought extends to league matches on the road this season, where they have posted just one victory in eight matches, and been outscored by a 5-2 overall margin in their past three.

While those trends make it tough to say who will they get their scoring from on Saturday, some positive trends exist for Monterrey in their recent track record against Club America. With their narrow 1-0 win in the CONCACAF Champions League final, the Rayados have now taken home the win in six of their past seven overall meetings with America, including each of the past three. And while striker Rogelio Gabriel Funes Mori has been held off the scoresheet in six straight league outings, he has potted the winning goal in each of the club’s past two meetings with the Eagles.

The Picks: CF Monterrey +255; UNDER 2.5 (-180)
