Las Águilas will need to come from behind once again this postseason to win the title, but doing so against Monterrey is easier said than done.

¿Con qué racha llegan América y Monterrey a este partido?

América makes it to the title clash with two wins in five liguilla games. Miguel Herrera's men were not able to win any of their first leg games, but that was no excuse for them to end each tie victorious. América won all return legs in this postseason, with the highlight being their 4-2 win against Tigres in the Quarter finals.

Monterrey reaches the title match with four playoff wins in five games. The only exception during that run came in their quarter final tie against Santos, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Speaking of away games, Monterrey won one (vs Necaxa, 1-0) and drew their other postseason match this season, but all of that took place before making a trip around the world to play in the FIFA Club World Cup, where they finished third.

What do América and Monterrey need to win the Apertura 2019 title?

América needs to win the game by a two-goal margin to win their 14th Liga MX title. Any other result would see Monterrey earning the championship.

Monterrey can afford to draw the game and still claim the title. Winning the game would also do the trick for Ricardo Mohamed's men.

If the game ends with a 1-0 score for América after 90 minutes, the championship will be decided via extra time or a penalty shootout if necessary.
