Liga MX Update
Liga MX is set to return this weekend after a challenging week in the Concacaf Champions Cup. While Club América secured a victory against Olimpia from Honduras, only two out of five Liga MX teams managed to win their matches. Monterrey, their upcoming opponent, has faced difficulties as well and is eager to get back on track.
Key Details for Club America vs. Monterrey
- Date: Saturday, February 7
- Time: 10:10 PM (Eastern Standard Time)
- Location: Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, Mexico City
- Live Stream: CBS Sports Golazo Network
- Odds: Club America -116; Draw +260; Monterrey +310
Monterrey’s lineup will be missing German Belterrame, which impacted their offensive performance in the Champions Cup against Guatemalan club Serraju MC. The team struggled to capitalize on crosses from Luca Orellano and Lucas Ocampos due to his absence. Uros Djurdjevic has been signed as his replacement, and despite not competing in the Champions Cup, he may debut in this important match against Club America.
Djurdjevic, who joined from Atlas, will need to deliver under the pressure of Monterrey’s expectations, having previously shown promise. He has a history of exceeding expected goals and could be the key player Monterrey needs right now.
On the other hand, Club America might find it tough against Monterrey, which has only let in two goals in their first four league matches this season. Winning these crucial games is vital for both teams if they aim to secure the championship title, making this encounter particularly significant.
