When the lights turn on at Estadio Azteca, Club America and Chivas Guadalajara will be taking the pitch for a Week 15 match in the Apertura 2014.
While the teams are seeing much different results this season, there is still plenty of intensity in the rivalry and we should expect both sides to put their best foot forward. The match is especially crucial for Chivas, who is facing relegation, while Club America has already qualified for the playoffs.
Entering today’s match, Club America sits atop the league table with 29 points, while Chivas enters El Super Clasico with just 11 points and sitting in 17th place.
The match will air on Univision and Univision Deportes at 7 p.m. ET.
Here is a look at the referees for El Super Clasico:
Referee: Roberto García Orozco
Assistant 1: Salvador Rodríguez Gorrocino
Assistant 2: Jesús Sevilla Palafox
Fourth Official: Leon Vicente Barajas Anzures
America has won the previous three meetings between the two clubs, with a 4-0 victory coming in the Clausura earlier this year.
All signs point to another win for Las Aguilas over the struggling Chivas side, but you can never rule anything out when the two most successful clubs in Mexican soccer history take the field.
