Apertura winners Club America will kick off their Liga MX Clausura phase with a visit to the Estadio Caliente as they lock horns with Club Tijuana.
Tijuana wrapped up their first phase with back-to-back defeats against Club America and Pachuca as they finished 13th in the Liga MX Apertura table. With the Clausura phase putting each side back at the starting line, the home side would be vying for revenge after their shambolic 3-0 defeat against Club America in November.
Club America, on the other hand, were crowned the much-deserving champions of Mexico as they thumped Tigers UNAL 4-1 on aggregate in a two-legged final. After a stalemate in the first leg, Club America thundered three goals with a reply as they were crowned champions for just the second time in their history.
