Club America vs Guadalajara Prediction: The Quarter Final is a done deal for America.

Club America are one step into the next round after they won the first leg by 3-0 away from home. Now they entertain Guadalajara at the Estadio Azteca for the 2nd leg of the CONCACAF Champions League tournament.

Guadalajara on the other hand will need a sort of miracle to even get the scores even in this return leg. The odds are very much against them and the chances that they will make it to the next round is slim. But they will come into the game hoping they can at least overturn the deficit and drag the game into penalty shootouts.

Club America

Club America are so close to the next round of the CONCACAF Champions League. They did a fantastic job in the first leg of the Round of 16 stage, beating Guadalajara 3-0 on their home ground. Julian Quinones gave them the opening goal in the 15th minute and in the second half Diego Valdes and Henry Martin both scored to make the game 3-0 at full time. The team was also very dominant throughout the game as they had 63% possession, 7 shots on target and they created 2 big chances.

With the current form of Club America, it's hard to see them throwing away this sort of advantage. They have won their last 4 games in a row in all competitions and there's a huge chance they will continue that winning run.

Club America coach Andre Jardine is expected to maintain the 4-2-3-1 formation in the second leg, but there might be a possible rotation in the starting lineup.

Guadalajara Chivas

Guadalajara are out of the competition to be honest. For all obvious reasons, there's no chance they are overturning a 3-goals deficit against Club America.

Apart from losing the first leg by such an insane scoreline, Guadalajara are also battling for form at the moment. They have won just 1 game in their last 6 games in all competitions.

Guadalajara were poor in the first leg as reflected in the scoreline and the stats. A lot of fingers were raised against Fernando Gago’s pattern of play in the game. He deployed a 3-5-2 formation in a bid to control the game but it was a poor performance from the team. 

And ahead of the return leg, there's also no chance he can turn this around but he'll be sure to try something new and find a way to get back in form again. Guadalajara will be without RB Alan Torres because he was sent off for a foul in the first leg.

Head to Head

According to the statistics, in the last 20 meetings between Club America and Guadalajara, Club America won 12 matches while CD Guadalajara won 4 matches and they drew the remaining 4 matches.
