C.F. Monterrey vs. Club America: Águilas Look To Claim Another Liga MX Title

Sunday evening will be the final 2024 Apertura match as the second leg of the Gran Final will conclude. This championship match will either see Club America secure a league trophy for the third consecutive year or C.F. Monterrey will celebrate their first league title since 2019. Approaching this title match, in leg one saw Los Águilas capture the advantage winning 2-1 on Thursday night. 

Martín Demichelis’s men didn’t have too much to celebrate on Thursday, but on a positive note, they were able to breach one past the keeper. Netting an away goal could come into play as The Striped-Ones only need to win by one goal in leg two.

André Jardine’s troops played with no fear on Thursday which paid off in the end. After conceding the opening tally, Club America responded with two goals giving them the upper hand in the aggregate scoreline.

C.F. Monterrey Preview 

Rayado's lone scorer in the first leg was central midfielder Sergio Canales scoring in the 35th minute. There could be a big void missing on Sunday as Canales exited the game in the 65th minute with a suspected calf injury. During the regular season the 33-year-old netted home eight goals. 

German Berterame saw his scorching form come to a halt on Thursday. The striker was riding a three-game scoring streak totalling four goals. Since joining the Striped-Ones in July of 2022, he has amassed 39 goals across all competitions.

Club America Preview

Arguably putting in a man-of-a-match performance, winger Alex Zendejas helped his side put one foot in the door towards their championship bid. In his 90-minute shift, the 26-year-old acquired a goal and an assist while finishing the match with the most chances created with four. 

Helping set up Club America’s first goal, Alvaro Fidalgo has now catalogued an assist in two consecutive matches. In 90 minutes of play, the 27-year-old finished the match with the most passes completed with 53.

C.F. Monterrey vs. Club America - My Pick

• C.F. Monterrey vs. Club America pick: Over 2.5 goals (-106) at bet365 

We feel Estadio BBVA will see a similar result that we saw in the first playoff tie, goals getting onto the scoresheet. Five of the last seven contests between these two adversaries have seen over 2.5 goals cash. Monterrey will be in a desperate position needing to score a goal to have any shot at the title. With the likely scenario of Los Rayados pressing up high, this should equate to them being vulnerable at the back end with Club America pouncing on their opportunities. Both sides possess lethal attacking options, with Monterrey scoring at least a goal in their last five outings while Club America has only been shoutout once in the same span. Recent trends show Monterrey are prone to surrendering goals at home as they have allowed 12 goals in 12 home dates between the regular season and playoffs. We should see some fireworks go off in this title match as both clubs will play to win on Sunday, hopefully resulting in a high-scoring affair.
