For its part, América is the best visitor in the fifteen dates that have been played and for that reason they are the favorites to be able to remove the aura of unbeatable from the team led by the Argentine Gustavo Lema. The Eagles add fifteen points in another’s field, the most any other team has added so far in the competition.
The numbers of the Americanists away from home record in eight matches four victories, three draws and one defeat, where they have defeated Xolos de Tijuana, FC Juárez, León and Atlas away from home, while they have tied with Necaxa, Chivas and Santos Laguna, while the only defeat was against Pachuca on matchday seven, which allowed them to add fifteen points.
