What They're Saying
America manager Antonio Mohamed (via Vavel): "This is football and you can win with quality. There are no favorites. Either team can win. We have a chance to give the fans a victory at home and I think we're mentally prepared to do that."
Chivas Guadalajara manager Jose Manuel de la Torre (via Goal): "We're not pretending to be victims, nor favorites. The clasicos are played to the death. It's played with everything, with pride and for three points."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: America's Martin Zuniga is yet to open his Apertura account. The 21-year-old has featured in six matches, creating a just one chance in the process. The opportunity to return to form will be presented to him against a weakend Guadalajara side.
America's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Munoz; Goltz, Aguilar, Mares, Aguilar; Molina Velasco, Martinez, Sambueza; Peralta, Zuniga
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Rodriguez; Vidrio, Pereira, Rodriguez, Marin; Salcido, Enriquez, Arce, Hernandez; Bravo, Fierro
