Game Preview
The last five games Club America played were all with only one team scoring. Overall, the team has two wins in the previous nine events, yet that won’t matter too much if they win against Cruz Azul.
This team is very confident at home. Club America has not lost a game in the past eight at Ciudad de los Deportes, winning five of them. Also, Andre Jardine’s guys haven’t conceded in 7 consecutive meetings at this stadium.

On the other hand, Cruz Azul won the first leg due to Idnacio Rivero’s goal. The same player received a red card afterward and was suspended, which will prevent him from playing in Sunday’s meeting.
Cruz Azul has six ties in its last 8 road games. Overall, they haven’t lost away from home in their recent 9 consecutive matches, but during that stretch, the team from Mexico City posted just three triumphs.
Club America vs. Cruz Azul Head to Head
The first leg ended 1-0 for Cruz Azul. Since the New Year, these teams have played three more games, two of which ended without a winner and one of which Cruz Azul won, eliminating Club America in the CCL.
