Preview: Rayados v Club América – Staying at the top of the table | OneFootball

Today, Club América will be visiting Rayados in matchday 9 of the Apertura 2025.

The team heads into this match with some doubts after recording two negative results in this month of September; first they fell in a friendly match against DC United and then surprisingly lost the national classic against Chivas.

And we can't even say that the team played well or deserved something more, they lost both matches deservedly, with a very disappointing performance against teams that were the worst in their respective leagues, DC United being the third last in the MLS and Chivas being the third last in the Apertura 2025.

The opponent will not be easy at all, Rayados has undoubtedly been the best team so far in this regular phase and comes into this match with seven consecutive victories in the Liga MX.

But this could be positive for the eagles as they tend to rise against these types of rivals, we saw it in this same tournament when they had to visit Tigres with the feline team as the favorite and the score ended 1-3 in favor of the cream blues.
