The 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup reaches a critical juncture this Wednesday, February 11, 2026, as Mexican giants Club América prepare to host Honduras’ CD Olimpia in the decisive second leg of their opening-round matchup. Following a hard-fought first leg in Tegucigalpa, the “Águilas” return to Mexico City holding a narrow aggregate lead and the advantage of two crucial away goals.

First Leg Recap: América Takes the Edge
In the first leg held on February 3 at the Estadio Nacional Chelato Uclés, Club América secured a 2-1 victory. Víctor Dávila opened the scoring for the visitors in the 42nd minute, providing a vital cushion before halftime. Despite a spirited second-half performance from Olimpia, the Mexican side managed to leave Honduras with the win, though a late goal from the home side has kept the aggregate score close enough to leave the door open for an upset.
Head-to-Head History and Key Stats
Historically, Club América has held the upper hand in this rivalry, though Olimpia has proven to be a resilient opponent in continental play. According to recent data:
- Overall Record: In their last four competitive meetings, Club América has won 2, CD Olimpia has won 1, and 1 match ended in a draw.
- Home Dominance: Club América has been formidable at home, winning 10 of their last 12 home encounters across all competitions.
- Olimpia’s Resilience: The Honduran side entered this series on a strong run, having scored in 15 consecutive matches and remaining unbeaten in their last six away fixtures prior to this tournament phase.
What to Watch For
Club América coach has emphasized the importance of not falling into complacency. With Raphael Veiga reportedly fit and ready for selection, the Águilas are expected to field a strong lineup to kill off the tie early. For Olimpia, the mission is clear: they must score at least twice to have a realistic chance of advancing, given the away goals rule currently favoring América.
Olimpia arrives in Mexico coming off a domestic 1-0 win against Lobos, a result that restored confidence after the first-leg defeat. However, overcoming a deficit at high altitude against the winningest team in Concacaf history remains one of the toughest challenges in North American club soccer.
Prediction: While Olimpia’s counter-attacking threat is dangerous, América’s depth and home-field advantage make them heavy favorites to advance to the next round of the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.
