On Wednesday evening, Estadio Caliente will see a high-stakes Liga MX clash as Club Tijuana takes on the Mexican soccer heavyweights, Club América.
Managed by Juan Carlos Osorio, Tijuana secured a 2-1 victory on the road against Necaxa over the weekend. This win marked their third consecutive triumph, lifting the team to sixth place in the standings. Despite clinching the narrow victory, Tijuana faced a barrage of shots, being outgunned 23 to 11 within 90 minutes.
In contrast, André Jardine’s team delivered a resounding performance at home on Saturday, overwhelming Santos Laguna with a 3-0 victory. This commanding display allowed Las Águilas to break a four-match winless streak across all competitions. With this win, Club América gained valuable breathing room in the final play-in round position, extending their lead to four points.
