Club America continue their march to a record eighth title when they visit Liga MX rival Chivas Guadalajara on Wednesday for the first leg of their Round of 16 tie in the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup.

Club America cruised to a 4-0 home triumph over Chivas in September during Liga MX’s Apertura 2023 and went on to capture the title.
