PREVIEW: Clásico Nacional

Just about 24 hours to go before the Clásico Nacional kicks off at the Azteca Stadium and here a some notes about how both teams come into place before the game on Saturday evening. Both teams are looking to get a win in hopes of bettering their standings in the league. For América's they sit at top of the table with 29 points and hope to finish off the Apertura regular season strong and go into the liguilla as Super Líder. For chivas they sit in second to last place with 11 points and are at the bottom of the percentage table fighting relegation.

Mohamed understands the pressure from the fans for losing the last two clásicos against Pumas and Cruz Azul. He realizes that those games are in the past, but knows that he can turn things around by winning the Clásico Nacional against chivas. He knows that it's an important game that means a lot to the fans and hopes to bring joy to them by winning on Saturday. Mohamed was asked if by beating chivas and adding fuel to their fire with relegation will bring additional joy? He simply said no, he made it clear that the only thing that him and the team are focused on are winning the clásico and staying on top of the league table. Guadalajara's issue doesn't really interest him because that's more their issue than América's.

The game is scheduled for Saturday November 1st at 6:00pm Central Time and can be seen on Univisión.
