América aim to climb the table in clash with Pumas | OneFootball

Tonight the Águilas will be facing Pumas at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario for Matchday 12 of the Clausura 2026.

Despite the team's inconsistent tournament so far, the Águilas come into this match in good form, with four games unbeaten, including three consecutive victories.

Even though many consider Pumas the favorite for this match, the reality is that they have also shown a lot of inconsistency; in fact, they were the first team eliminated from the Concachampions and in Liga MX they are only three points ahead of the Águilas.

América will look to climb the standings.

The Águilas are currently in seventh place in the table with 17 points, and are just three points behind Pumas, although to take fifth place from them, they would need to win tonight’s match by a 3-0 scoreline.

Additionally, it also depends on the result Tigres get in their visit to Juárez, since they have the same number of points but a higher goal difference than the azulcremas.

In any case, a victory against Pumas would be key to securing a spot in the playoffs and getting closer to fourth place in the table, which currently belongs to Pachuca.
