Club America and Atlas will face off in an all-Mexican Leagues Cup Round of 32 match on Saturday at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California.
The reigning Liga MX champions had a solid domestic break with high-profile friendlies against Premier League sides, Chelsea and Aston Villa, which helped them keep in shape.
While they were overwhelmed by the Blues, losing 3-0 on August 1, they recovered to win 1-0 against Aston Villa two days later. As reigning Liga MX champions, America bypassed the Leagues Cup group stage and entered the competition at the Round of 32 stage, making this their first game in the competition this year.
Atlas advanced to the Round of 32 despite suffering a 2-1 defeat against MLS side Real Salt Lake in their final group match at America First Field in Sandy, Utah, last Friday. Their earlier 1-0 victory over Houston Dynamo on matchday one proved crucial, allowing them to secure second place in Group H due to a superior goal difference over Real Salt Lake.
