Club America vs Mazatlan FC Prediction: Both Sides Searching for their First Win in 2023

In the upcoming contest of Liga MX, Clausura Matchday 4, Club America will take on Mazatlan FC at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City. Both sides are clearly struggling according to their caliber and overall reputation in the contest. So far, many top teams of the Liga Mexico haven’t been able to exercise their stunts properly. Club America and Mazatlan are still searching for their first win in the 2023 competition. The last time these two played against each other, Club America swept a comfortable win (1-3), in which Diego Valdes, Henry Martin, and Sebastian Caceres scored goals. 

Though Club America has gotten off the mark in the goals scored card, it still is searching for its first win of the competition. In the previous game against Puebla, Henry Martin and Alex Zendejas scored goals. However, Club America was unable to stop the opposition from scoring the equalizer in the 76th minute of play. The home fixture could be a turning point for Club America as they have a reasonably solid record at home, compared to away fixtures. Irrespective of the win-less run, Club America has scored 2 or more goals in its last 16 of 20 fixtures. Club America will fancy its chances of claiming its first win, as it has a goal scoring average of 2.70 goals at home in the last 10 home games.

After starting poorly in the ongoing Liga MX 2023, Mazatlan FC will be missing out Oswaldo Alanis, Nicolas Vikonis, Nestor Vidrio, and Eduard Bello. Their inclusion in the possible lineup will be subject to medical clearance. The last three matches got quite intense and heated for Mazatlan, as all defeats were by a margin of just one goal. In the game against Santos Laguna, Ariel Nahuelpan scored the equalizer, but Mazatlan couldn’t stop Harold Preciado from scoring the decider in the 78th minute. Mazatlan has a poor away record, as it has registered just a win and 5 draws from its last 10 away games. Moreover, its away goal scoring average is just 0.90 goals. Mazatlan needs to minimize the goal conceding rate, which is around 1.40 goals in the last 10 away games.

Club America stands favorite with an impressive goal scoring average of 2.70 goals in the last 10 home fixtures. In addition to the impressive scoring rate, the conceding rate is also just 1.00 goals per game. Considering the poor away form of Mazatlan, I am backing Club America to win and score 2 or more goals.
