Liga MX: Tijuana at América, 9 p.m. Saturday, Univision. With only a handful of games left in the fall season, Tijuana has opened a comfortable lead at the top of the league. A trip to Mexico City to take on América is always difficult, though, especially given that the home side is not guaranteed to finish in the playoff places.
MLS: Toronto at Montreal, 2 p.m. Sunday, ESPN. With two games left in the season, Toronto has clinched a playoff berth and Montreal is all but in.

Colorado, meanwhile, climbed to the top of the MLS standings with a victory Thursday against San Jose. But will the Rapids have anything left for this game?
