Chivas Guadalajara vs. FC Juárez Betting Prediction

Chivas Guadalajara Preview

Last weekend, Gabriel Milito’s men had all the ingredients to get the better of Santos Laguna, but ultimately couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities. Inside the match, Chivas dominated the possession, retaining the possession for 67 percent of the game while finishing with an xG of 1.98 with the 17 shot attempts fired towards the opposing keeper. The Sacred Herd’s best opportunity to score came in the 73rd minute when Alan Pulido was the designated penalty kick taker, but his right corner shot was stopped. 

Armando González keeps building a case to be a regular starter on this squad with the displays he has produced since the start of the 2025 Apertura campaign. Across all competitions, the 22-year-old striker has scored three goals in 238 minutes of work. Last match González had a quieter outing, only registering one shot towards the target and only 16 total touches in 84 minutes.

FC Juárez Preview

The previous match day saw Martín Varini’s troops get dispatched by the defending Liga MX champions, Toluca, losing 2-0 at the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juárez. Dating back to March, across all tournaments played, Los Bravos have only won twice in 16 attempts. 

The 37-time internationally capped midfielder with Mexico, Rodolfo Pizarro, switched outfits to join FC Juárez in this current term, coming over from Mazatlán. The 31-year-old opened his Liga MX account on July 11th, bagging a goal against Club America. Against Toluca, he finished with a shot off target and went 73 percent accurate in passes, going 19 for 26.

Chivas Guadalajara vs. FC Juárez - My Pick

• Chivas Guadalajara vs. FC Juárez pick: Chivas Guadalajara ML 3-way (-175) at bet365 

Historically, FC Juárez have had their struggles when travelling to Estadio Akron, only coming out victorious once in their previous nine trips. Los Bravos have failed to keep the ball out of their net, going 10 straight matches without a clean sheet. Chivas possess potent players on attack who have yet to shine, but we sense Saturday is the opportunity for them to appear on the scoreboard frequently. It’s early on, but it is already must-win territory for Chivas in this situation. To move up into playoff contention, these are the matches they need to win against inferior sides. We sense the home side will get into the win column on Saturday.
