Two of the top teams in the Mexican league lock horns with playoff spots up for grabs. Don't miss this clash with our detailed guide.

The heated rivalry between América and Tigres delivered some epic games during the past decade, and while these games are still pretty intense, América has found a way to shift the tide in their favor. This time, Tigres will present themselves as a major hurdle for Fernando Ortiz's men with a spot in the playoffs up for grabs for the winner.

América's recent form has seen them rise from 16th in the tournament all the way to second place. The yellow and blue side are two points away from Monterrey with a game in hand, and one more victory here would serve two purposes: the first one, to cement their reputation as contenders, and secondly, the team would silence their haters, who have snubbed their winning streak since they have only beaten one title contender during that run.

On the other side of the pitch, Tigres will try to show that their recent results were caused by bad luck in front of goal, since they have only found the back of the net once in their last three games. Currently ranked fifth, a win for Tigres could also see them rise to first place, and all they would need to do to keep it until next week's action is to se Monterrey, Santos, and Pachuca dropping points.

Let us give you a glimpse of what's coming between these clubs on Saturday night.

América vs Tigres UANL - Team news

América get to this game in what can only be named as the most in-form team in the league, with their past six games ending in wins for Las Águilas. During that run, América have scored a whopping 19 goals, while their defense has only conceded twice. The team's recent form has turned the team into a title contender, when only a month ago a portion of the team's supporters demanded the sacking of coach Fernando Ortiz, who has found a way to turn things around.

Their rivals on Saturday will be Tigres UANL, a club that will make to Azteca Stadium on a four-game streak without a loss, although three of those games have ended in draws. Miguel Herrera's men will want to add a fifth game to their unbeaten form, but to do so, they must find a way to score goals away from home, something they have only been able to do in three of their five matches on the road. This game will bring back fond memories for Miguel Herrera, who went from zero to hero and all the way back during his two coaching stints with América during the past decade.

América - Doubtful: Brian Rodríguez, Roger Martínez.

Tigres UANL - Injured: Sebastián Córdova, Javier Aquino, Nicolás López.
