Club America will welcome arch-rivals Guadalajara to Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in Liga MX Apertura on Saturday. The hosts have just two wins in six league games and are in 12th place while Chivas have won three games and are in sixth place in the league table.
America have suffered back-to-back losses in their last two league games and in their previous outing, they fell to a 4-1 away loss to Cruz Azul. Brian Rodríguez scored in the 17th minute to give them the lead but Azul scored twice in either half to record a comeback win.
Chivas are unbeaten in their last four league outings, recording three wins. In their previous outing, they won 5-0 at home against Juarez. Roberto Alvarado had two assists and scored from the penalty spot in the first half.

Club America vs Guadalajara Prediction
Águilas have suffered three consecutive losses in all competitions, failing to score in two games. Interestingly, they have suffered three losses in their last 13 meetings against Chivas, with all losses coming at home.
Diego Valdés, Igor Lichnovsky, and Alejandro Zendejas are confirmed absentees for this match while Richard Sánchez and Sebastián Cáceres face late fitness tests.
Chivas have seen an upturn in form and, after going winless in their first two league games, they have won three of their last four. They have scored 10 goals while conceding just once in their last four league games and will look to build on that form.
Mateo Chávez and Carlos Cisneros returned to training earlier this week and should be available for the trip to the capital. Jesús Orozco, Javier Hernández, and Yael Padilla will also likely sit this one out with discomfort.
While the capital club have been the dominant side in recent meetings against their arch-rivals, considering the current form of the two teams, Chivas are expected to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Club America 1-2 Guadalajara
