Last four matches Morelia has been unable to beat America, even last three have been America victories.

Morelia

Last match lost 4-0 to Tecos UAG, in a match that was key the expulsion of Morelia FW Luis Gabriel Rey, still that with disadvantage on the score the team press with the incorporation of FW Rafael Marquez to be able to take goals, but the match was tight and teams showing good defense until the last part of the match where Tecos was able to score three times to kill Morelia. Which now needs the victory to be able to aspire to something. After agood start of the tournament in last 10 matches the team have barely take two victories and eight defeats. The team needs to whow their good step on home where they have collect in their last matches there two defeats, and two victories to mantain alive. The team have showed a better display on home, and look fair.

The team offensive is the sixth best of the tournament with 21 goals allowed in 16 matches for an average of 1.31 goals per match. Their best offensive player if MF Fernando Arce, but altought having six goals it all have been score in three matches, in one match scored 1 goal, in another two and in one three goals. With other 12 players that have score for the cause of the team consolidates a fair offensive.

In defense the team is the fourth worst offensive of the tournament, with 24 goals allowed in 16 matches, for an average of 1.5 goals allowed per match. Still this has to be divided as the team away defense is the worst, but in home is between the best as they have only allowed five goals in 8 matches. The team has three consecutive matches with over 2.5 goals. In whole tournament the team has accumulate 11 matches with over 2.5 goals. In last five matches the team have at least allowed a goal.

Is is very hard that the team achieve direct pass to playoffs, if won this match depends on other results to be able to get to reclasficiation. Draw or defeat would represent elimination from the tournament.

Suspended:

FW Luis Gabriel Rey

America

Last match the team showed fair offensive as scored, and altought being in home the team sit back and wait Atlante to attack and then played on counterattack, the team with this control the match and take the three points which lead the team to secure the first position of their group and to be in the four top teams. The team carries a streak of six unbeaten matches.

For this match on away the team isn't powerfoul but more offensive, and on their last two matches away have taken one victory and one draw, so the team is looking to be reaching a good momentum and what better than to ratify it here.

The team is the fourth best offensive with 25 goals scored in 16 matches for an average of 1.56 goals per match scored. Their best striker is FW Salvador Cabañas with 6 goals, followd by FW Cuauthemoc Blanco with 4 goals. 9 other players have scored for the team. The team has six consecutive matches scoring at least a goal.

In defense the team is the second best defense with just 13 goals allowed in 16 matches for an average of 0.81 goals per match allowed. The team last match obtain a cleansheet, in the whole tournament the team has just collect four clean sheets, The most goals the team have allowed in a match are two, and this just twice in the season.

The team is qualified to playoffs, and have also secure their first place of the group. Now the team overall position could improve to second if they won and Chivas lost or draw. But if America lost and Cruz Azul won could fall at the most to fourth place.

Injured:

DF Oscar Rojas

MF Diego Cervantes

Match:

Morelia has the duty to attack and certainly would do it to impose their game, still America defensive scheme on away has deliver them good results on last matches in away.

Prediction:

For O/U I expect Under 2.5, as I expect Morelia to came with a good performance, still America good defense will prevail.
