Mexican soccer is looking for its first finalist for the Liga MX, and the series between Club América and Atlético San Luis will be the first to produce a qualifier. However, this is an euphemism after considering what happened in the first leg.
The first match of this series ended in a resounding victory for the ‘Águilas,’ who thrashed the San Luis de Potosí team 5-0 away from home.
Chilean midfielder Diego Valdés and Colombian striker Julián Quiñones were the stars of the match, scoring a brace each.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on América?
Club América is the strongest team in Liga MX so far, finished first in the round-robin, eliminated León in the quarterfinals, and now has a foot and a half in the Mexican final.
In the first leg of the semifinals, the ‘Águilas’ had a feast and thrashed Atlético San Luis 5-0, with a fantastic performance by Chilean midfielder Diego Valdés and Colombian-Mexican striker Julián Quiñones, who scored two goals each. The other goal was by Henry Martin.
There is no doubt that the Mexico City side is in top form, as they have not lost a match since July 31, and it was not even in Liga MX, but in the Leagues Cup, which pitted Mexican teams against American ones.
Their only loss in the league was on the first date when they fell 2-1 to Juárez. They went on to win 14 games and draw five. Quiñones is their most prolific scorer so far, with nine goals.
The ‘Águilas’ have six consecutive wins at home and only scored less than two goals in one match. The Aztec stadium seems impregnable for any team.
Coach Andre Jardine will count on his entire team for the second leg against San Luis.
Why Bet on Atlético San Luis?
Atletico San Luis has had a good semester. In the first phase, they were always in the leading positions, and in the quarterfinals, they eliminated Rayados de Monterrey, who were the clear favorites.
However, América was far superior in the first leg of the semifinals, beating them 5-0. The defense was out of its depth. They were already 2-0 down in 15 minutes, and with 10 minutes to go, they conceded two more goals.
The movements of players without fixed positions, such as Diego Valdés and Julián Quiñones, were indecipherable for the San Luis de Potosí team, who will be looking for one of the greatest miracles in the history of soccer to reach the final.
The bad thing for this team is that they have six matches without an away win, tying the last two and losing the previous four. In that period, they have always scored but have also been very vulnerable, conceding 14 goals.
Coach Jose da Silva has no injuries for the match at the Azteca stadium.
Final Betting Analysis: América vs. Atlético San Luis
Atletico San Luis will have little to do against a team as powerful as Club América in this kind of situation. The locals will take the home game with a certain degree of relaxation but will still get the win to await its opponent in the final between Tigres and Pumas.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have América as the favorites. The Moneyline for them shows -303, while Atlético San Luis has +850, and the draw is at +475.
The last time América hosted San Luis at their stadium, they lost 2-1 in May of this year.
Go for a win in América’s Moneyline. If you bet $100 at -303, you will gain $33 for a total payout of $133.
