Chivas Guadalajara Preview

Finishing at the top of the leaderboard in the goals department for the 2024 Clausura campaign is Victor Guzman netting six goals. The pressure will squarely be on the midfielder as his goal contributions have evaporated, the 29-year-old has only registered one goal in his last 11 games in all competitions.

Playing in the best form of his career, Chivas is experiencing superb goalkeeping from Jose Rangel. His last eight starts have seen the 24-year-old pick up seven clean sheets. During the 2024 Clausura regular season, Rangel was one of the busiest keepers making a total of 60 saves.

Terrorizing the oppositions goalkeepers all campaign long is Julian Quinones. The 27-year-old finished with the highest total of goals on this squad in the 2024 Clausura with six goals. Bagging a goal last weekend against Quinones put his goalless drought to end at five games.

Chivas Guadalajara vs. Club America - My Pick

El Super Clasico during the regular season is hostile enough, with this two-legged semi-final with a trip to the finals on the line, expect both sides to bring their best game. Chivas where a dominant home side in 2024, only walking away with zero points once in eight games at Estadio Akron. Their goals-against average at home was 1.13, with that stingy home defence it could be a long frustrating night for the visitors.

On the other hand, Club America did have the best away record in the Clausura collecting 17 points in nine home games. That said they still on four occasions didn’t catalogue a win. Las Aguilas only have one away win in Liga MX play since March 2nd. Think we see Club America struggle in this first leg, Chivas have more than what it takes to hang around for 90 minutes.
