Fresh off the back of clinching the Campeones Cup title, Club America play host to Pumas UNAM in round 10 of the Mexican Liga MX on Sunday. Gustavo Lema's men journey to the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes looking to end their three-game winless run against Las Águilas and move within three points of league leaders Cruz Azul.
Club America picked up their third piece of silverware in 2024 last Thursday when they beat MLS outfit Columbus Crew on penalties to win the Campeones Cup at the Lower.com Field.
André Jardine’s side now turn their attention to Liga MX, where they are on a three-game unbeaten run, claiming two wins and one draw since August’s 4-1 loss against Cruz Azul.
After a slow start to the campaign, an upturn in form has seen Club America rise to 11th place in the league table, level on 13 points with 10th-placed Club Nexaca after nine matches.
Pumas UNAM, on the other hand, picked up consecutive league wins for the first time since July as they edged out Club Tijuana 1-0 at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario last Monday. This followed a 1-0 victory over Puebla on September 18, which saw their run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions come to an end.
With 16 points from nine Liga MX matches, Pumas are currently sixth in the league standings, eight points adrift of first-placed Cruz Azul, albeit with one game in hand.
