América will look to regain the Apertura 2026 lead | OneFootball

Tonight, Club América will face Necaxa in a matchup that will close out Matchday 10 of the Apertura 2026.

The Eagles come into this match on the back of a couple of negative results after losing to Cruz Azul and drawing with Chivas; both matches were very similar, with América playing poorly in the first half and competing very well in the second.

But despite these bad results, the team currently remains third in the standings with a great chance of reclaiming first place, which they held for several matchdays.

What do they need to reclaim first place?

The Eagles need a victory by three goals or more to reclaim first place, since they need that margin to overtake Toluca in the standings, who currently have three more points.

But that’s not the only way, since the Eagles have two games in hand: the first against Necaxa tonight and another they will play against Xolos next October 28.

So the important thing is to get the win tonight without worrying about the goal difference, since with the game in hand they would have that advantage heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
