La Máquina and Los Azulcremas will battle for the top spot of the competition in one more chapter of a bitter rivalry in the Mexican top-flight.

What has been América and Guadalajara's form ahead of this game?

Cruz Azul get to the Azteca having won four out of their last five games. Their only mishap during that run happened just over a month ago, when Siboldi's men were beaten by Atlas with a one-nil score. Cruz Azul's last game was filled with controversy, as a questionable call by the ref saw a dubious penalty stand and gave them a narrow 3-2 win against debutants Mazatlán FC.

América will face Cruz Azul while on a five-game streak without a loss. Las Águilas have won four of those games, including last week's Clásico against Guadalajara. The only game that ended in a draw during that run for Miguel Herrera'a men took place two weeks ago, when América drew their game against Toluca with a one-all score.

What is América and Guadalajara's position in the ongoing Liga MX season?

Cruz Azul will make it to this tie in first place. La Máquina has won eight of their games, with only one draw and two losses as their record for this tournament. Robert Siboldi's men get to this match as one of the best defensive units in the league, having conceded only nine goals during their eleven games. Jonathan Rodríguez will be a major threat for América, as he is the league's top scorer with ten goals.

América get to the "Clásico Joven" in third place of the competition, with seven wins, two draws, and two losses to their name. Las Águilas have scored 22 goals this season, the best tally for a Liga MX team so far. Unfortunately for Miguel Herrera's men, they have also conceded 15 times, which makes their defense one of the weakest of the competition. Henry Martin and Federico Viñas are the team's top scorers with five goals apiece.

Cruz Azul vs América - Who's in and who's out?

América: Injured: Bruno Valdéz. Doubtful: Emanuel Aguilera, Federico Viñas, Sergio Díaz.
