Two clubs in opposite halves of the Liga MX table will do battle today in a league match between Club America and Queretaro. The first-division clash scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City and can be live streamed free through Univision Deportes mobile.
Club America have had an up-and-down season in 2014, but that hasn't kept manager Antonio Mohamed from having confidence in his side. With the playoffs looming, he believes his club is one to look out for (h/t to Goal). "I said it's been a mediocre season, but I have confidence in this team," he said. "And if you put us in the Liguilla, be careful with this club," he added.
"We thought we'd have four or five more points, have won two more matches at home. That's what we had planned. Now, we have two fixtures to recover a bit."
"Everyone knows that we are respectable competition. We've already been at our lowest and we're trending upward. I am confident that we will play these final games well."
Will Mohamed's confidence translate to a result on the pitch? Tell us @SportsWN
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Club America's Raul Jimenez has seen his productivity drop in 2014. The 22-year-old had 18 goals in the last two tournaments combined, but only carries five into today's match. He'll look to add more at home tonight.
Club America's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Munoz; Layun, Aguilar, Mosquera, Rodriguez, Aguilar; Medina, Molina, Mendoza; Jimenez, Rey
Queretaro's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hernandez; Ang, Delgado, Martinez, Morales; Bermudez; da Silva, Perenuñez, De la Torre; Sanvezzo, Jesus
