This Saturday we'll have another edition of the Clásico Joven when Cruz Azul hosts América at Estadio Banorte. It's a match that pits the reigning champions, Cruz Azul, against the current league leaders, América.
América, managed by Almada, also had a very good Leagues Cup run, reaching the semifinals and eliminating Columbus Crew in the quarterfinals. However, their elimination from the competition at the start of September was bitter; they lost on penalties to Monterrey. Then, in the third-place match, several of their starters played in the narrow defeat against León.
Meanwhile, Cruz Azul continued their Liga MX campaign; they bounced back strongly from their losses to Tijuana and Atlas, defeating Cruz Azul 3-1 and Santos Laguna 1-0. However, Cruz Azul still seems to need a player who can put the ball in the back of the net. Paradela scored a dramatic 89th-minute goal to defeat Santos, and only one of their 25 shots found the back of the net.

Our CF Cruz Azul vs CF America Prediction
Although América didn't bring in as many high-profile reinforcements as they usually do for this Apertura tournament, they are currently in first place in Liga MX, having won five matches and drawn only one.
With a clear playing style and organization, only Monterrey has scored more goals than América's 12, but it's their rock-solid defense that has kept them impressively strong, conceding only two goals. Cruz Azul, even as the defending champion, has struggled to defeat their city rivals in recent years.
Our prediction for Cruz Azul vs América is: Under 2.5 goals.
