Only two fixtures remain in the 2015 Apertura season. Time is running out for Monterrey to qualify for the Liguilla.
Los Rayados are currently 10th in the table with 20 points, three points out of a playoff spot. Victories in the final two weeks are of the utmost importance if the club has any visions of participating in the Liguilla.
The same cannot be said for America.
Las Aguilas are chasing four points, but they're four points that would see them atop the table. Inner-city rival Pumas UNAM enter Week 15 as league leaders. A victory for America would all but ensure a top three seed.

What They're Saying
Monterrey striker Funes Mori (via Esto): "We're playing against an America with lots of strength and determination. America plays well, they're near the top of the table and are probably coming here to win. Meanwhile, we're using all our strength to stand up. We're alive and we're going to attack."
America defender Paolo Goltz (via Esto): "We have to think of where we are. We're in Monterrey and we want to win to maintain our form. We know they [Monterrey] have a well-known striker, but we have to win regardless."
