Soccer Nurds shared these possible lineups for both teams, which sees Jeremy Menez keep his spot in the starting XI ahead of the in-form Henry Martin:

Martin has done most of his damage off the bench in Liga MX, with five goals so far, as opposed to Menez's two, per WhoScored.com. America haven not been too reliant on any of their star attackers, choosing to rotate the squad and use their depth options to great effect late in matches.

They fell short in the scoreless draw against Tijuana, America's fifth draw in the competition so far and third in their last four outings. That poor run is a minor source for concern heading into the Super Clasico, but it's nothing compared to the form their rivals are in.

With just one win so far, the defending champions are suffering one of the worst title hangovers in Clausura history. They haven't won in their last six domestic matches, and they needed a second-half penalty from Oswaldo Alanis to grab a point against Pumas, who finished the contest with 10 men.

Chivas' main issues lie in defence, where the team has already conceded 15 goals in nine matches and should consider themselves lucky it hasn't been worse. Manager Matias Almeyda has failed to get his back line working together, which could spell major trouble against an America side that has scored 15 and conceded just six in 15 contests.

Between Martin, Menez, Oribe Peralta and Cecilio Dominguez, there are plenty of players in the America squad who specialise in scoring goals. All four were on the pitch together against Xolos at one point, and their movement off each other could wreak havoc on the Chivas defence.

Form often means little in rivalry matches, where emotions take the upper hand, but even if Chivas rise above themselves, they'll still have to contend with a midfield unit led by Renato Ibarra and a solid defence anchored by Bruno Valdez. America enter the Super Clasico undefeated, and in all likelihood, that won't change on Saturday.

Prediction: Chivas 0-2 America
