Club America, on the other hand, has suffered consecutive setbacks recently. In mid-August, they drew 0-0 with Colorado Rapids in the CONCACAF League and were eliminated on penalties, followed by a 0-1 loss to Puebla in the league.
Regarding home and away form, Cruz Azul has been unbeaten in their last 7 home matches with 3 wins and 4 draws, making them a formidable team to face at home.
