América are back in action this Wednesday with the aim of redeeming themselves in front of their fans at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.
After a crushing 1-4 defeat against Tigres, the Coapa team has seen its flight halted, placing them in eighth position with 11 points. The team led by André Jardine needs to urgently address the defensive shortcomings shown in the last match to not jeopardise their position in the Liguilla spots.
Juárez Eye Upset in the Capital
Facing them will be FC Juárez, a team that occupies twelfth place with 7 points and arrives with the hope of causing an upset in the capital.
Their goalkeeper, Sebastián Jurado, has warned that the Bravos will plan an intelligent match to take advantage of the blue-creams’ uncertainty.
