So far for América things have been going great for them this season as they are 4 for 4 with 12 points in the standings. They hope to continue their flow and get 5 for 5, but to do so they'll have to make a few adjustments. One of the main adjustments is up top where they are now without their star striker Raúl Jiménez. Jiménez departed this past week to Spain to join capital side Atlético de Madrid on a six season contract. We're likely to see Luis Gabriel Rey accompanying Oribe Peralta with chances of Martín Zúñiga coming in as sub.
Paolo Goltz and Rubens Sambueza also return to the starting 11 this week. Goltz returns after receiving 2 yellow cards against Puebla a couple of weeks ago and Sambueza returns after suffering an injury that kept him from seeing first team action.
Morelia isn't afraid of playing in the Azecta as they are familiar with picking up wins there in the past. Though for Comizzo a win is a must if he plans to stay as head coach for the Michoacanos. With a record of 2 ties and 2 defeats, Morelia sit in second to last place of the Apertura table with only 2 points. Though they have the worse offense they've managed to have a decent defense with only allowing in 6 goals when compared to Chiapas and León who have 10 goals against them and sit in 5th and 6th place.
The last time they faced each other in the Estadio Azecta América won 3-1 with goals from Luis Mendoza and Raúl Jiménez while Edgar Andrade score for Monarcas.
