- Querétaro form: Querétaro are unbeaten in their last 5 games (W2, D3), and unbeaten in their last 2 home (W1, D1).
- Club America form: Club America are unbeaten in their last 2 away (W1, D1).
Tight affair in prospect between two steady Liga MX sides
Back-to-back 3-3 draws with Pumas UNAM, including a wild 3-3 at home and another 3-3 away, shows that there are plenty of goals going in Club America's games right now. 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats from their last 10 in all competitions is steady, rather than explosive, form, but Esteban Gonzalez appears to have his team playing with some momentum, which is a huge plus.
Gonzalez took over as head coach on 1st January 2026 and his team have been set up in a 4-4-2 which is disciplined, keeps things compact, keeps the lanes narrow and counters quickly. They drew 1-1 at home to big guns Cruz Azul last weekend but bounced back nicely from that result to beat Puebla 2-1 away, another gritty little statement from the White Roosters.
Guillermo Almada's Club America are the opposite of Queretaro in terms of style, with their 4-2-3-1 all about vertical play, a high press and quick transitions. They are the favourites here at 1.96, but that looks a little low to us as Queretaro are 3.64 and the draw 3.46. This is a tough matchup, and as much as Almada's team are a clear step up in quality, they are coming in on the back of two stalemates (W2, D2, L1 in their last 5).
Queretaro can keep this close
Tactical outlook:
Both teams have plenty of attacking talent, and Almada's high-intensity style should put Querétaro under heavy pressure on Sunday. The White Roosters will do their best to absorb the pressure and nick goals on the break, but a close win on the road or low-scoring tie seems the most likely scenario.
Betting and key men:
He is always a threat in the final third and could make the difference here.
- Under 2.5 goals is our preference in the goal markets at 1.9, while Both Teams to Score: Yes is a very solid bet at 1.7.
- Querétaro have found the net 7 times in their last 5 at the Corregidora in all competitions which is enough to keep them in the game, while Club America are averaging 1.40 goals on the road in all competitions.
- Zendejas has been a livewire for America lately, with the livewire forward having found the back of the net 4 times in their last 5.
