- Club America have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 games in all competitions.
- Atletico de San Luis have won none, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
America’s 4-2-3-1 is built to press and counter
Guillermo Almada has Club America set up to press and play at a high tempo in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and the evidence so far this season suggests that they are getting the balance of press, possession, and ball progression right.
With 7 points from a possible 9, the hosts come into Sunday's clash as leaders of Liga MX 2026/2027 while Atletico de San Luis are 15th with 2 points. San Luis have already put the wind up America, winning 2-0 away in Liga MX 2025/2026 six months ago, but this time around the odds are definitely against them.
America come into this one looking to extend a two-game winning run after beating Santos Laguna 3-0 in Liga MX 2026/2027 and San Diego FC 3-1 in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027, whereas San Luis have lost their last two games, 4-2 away to Inter Miami CF and 4-1 at home to Nashville SC after opening their Liga MX 2026/2027 account with a 0-0 draw at Club Tijuana.
San Luis are better with the ball
The contrast in playing styles between these two teams should lead to an interesting chess match on Sunday. America want to suffocate opponents in transition and win the ball in advanced areas where they can counter quickly.
Diego Mejia has San Luis set up to be more patient and possess the ball for large periods, they have structured their build-up and have selective triggers for their pressing phases. Rafa Llorente is their danger man with 2 goals in 3 Liga MX 2026/2027 matches, but he has 4 of San Luis's 7 goals in their last 5 in all competitions.
The home side are the clear favourites here at 53/100, with San Luis available at 19/4 and the draw at 31/10, which looks like a big price for a game which could easily go either way.
The value is in the Both Teams To Score market
We're going to take a sharp alternative and take Both Teams To Score at 7/10 here, as we believe the visitors can land a sucker punch.
Alejandro Cardenas is America's sharpest edge with 1 goal in 3 Liga MX 2026/2027 games and he will be at the pointy end of their high pressing game to try and pin San Luis in their own half.
The hosts look primed to take the points on Sunday, but San Luis's ability to shock Club America six months ago means that this one could get spicy before the final whistle.
