Little by little America is gaining victories and points while the Pumas have struggled in the last few games Nonetheless, the tie is attractive here, and bearing in mind that the Pumas have shown on several occasions in the past that they are able to rule out strong opponents in La Liga MX, there is reason to believe they could do the same on Saturday.

After appearing in two rivalry games in a row, America will now make a third this weekend when they face the Pumas in the Clasico Capitalino Blocked by a Liga MX schedule that delayed rivalry matches until later in the season (with initial hopes that fans would potentially be allowed into those matches), America found itself in an unclear position. that shows up week after week high – intensity games
