A particularly quiet weekend of club soccer worldwide is highlighted by the second leg of a tight Liga MX final and a clash of Italian giants, all before Boxing Day brings in a full slate of EPL match-ups on Monday.
Juventus hosts AC Milan on Friday in Turin, with a win for the home side putting them in a seven point lead at the top of Serie A. Milan currently sits in fifth place, but are in scintillating form with four wins in their last five matches.
Millions of fans across the US and Mexico will be tuning in as Tigres host the second leg of the Liga MX final against Club America on Sunday night. The teams drew 1-1 in the first leg on Thursday, but it could be Club America’s time to shine after star Tigres striker Andre-Pierre Gignac is unlikely to feature through injury.
In the English tradition of Boxing Day, Monday is full of EPL action. American fans will surely be watching Swansea City as they host West Ham, as Bob Bradley looks to turn around his team’s fortunes at the start of the busy EPL Christmas period.
