Next Saturday night’s Liga MX main event will feature a new edition of the National Derby between América and Guadalajara, and it will be the first time these teams clash at the renewed Banorte Stadium. Given this, the atmosphere will likely be spectacular, as a sell-out is almost guaranteed because of the strong performances both teams have shown at the start of the season.
On the one hand, América sits in third place with 16 points, so the team is expected to show a strong personality, as it did in the last 15 minutes of its matchup against Cruz Azul last weekend. Despite losing that game, América has scored two or more goals in its last five Liga MX games, so maintaining that offensive form will be key to securing the victory.
On the other hand, Guadalajara has recovered its form from last season, so this team can definitely be considered one of the strongest contenders to lift the cup by the end of the season. With this in mind, these are the kinds of games where Gabriel Milito’s leadership should make the difference, as winning the National Derby is one of this team's main objectives.

Our CF America vs Chivas Prediction
Taking all these facts into account, this game could become one of the most spectacular of the Apertura 2026 regular season, especially if both teams can maintain their strong offensive momentum. Still, Guillermo Almada is expected to improve his team’s defense and avoid conceding as many goals as it did against Cruz Azul.
To conclude, most Mexican derbies deliver entertaining matches, so this game is expected to follow the same pattern given these teams' current form. Therefore, the pick for CF América – CD Guadalajara is: Over 3.5 Goals!
