Nicolás Larcamón’s troops are flying under the radar with the spectacular start they are having, being overshadowed by the club their meeting on Saturday. Across all competitive fixtures in 2026, La Máquina are firing on all cylinders, going seven consecutive games without tasting defeat.

The 31-year-old has built a solid resume over the years with his Liga MX outfits, amassing 89 league goals. With presence alongside his Argentine compatriot, José Paradela, the duo are primed for an attacking display.

Chivas Guadalajara Preview

Every message Gabriel Milito has preached to his men has worked out phenomenally so far, as Chivas are the only perfect club standing in the table. The Striped Goats had their stiffest test last weekend with their winning streak on the line. Their clash against Club América in the El Súper Clásico was an emotional high, securing bragging rights in the derby with a 1-0 home win. 

Armando González played the hero in El Súper Clásico, bagging the fierce contests' only goal. The 22-year-old striker has given Chivas new hope and ambition with the developmental path the skilled player is taking. Last term González finished in a three-way tie for the Golden Boot. This season, so far, he has up to five tallies, just one behind the league leader. On Saturday González hopes he can break the goose egg against Cruz Azul, where he failed in three attempts to feature on the scoreboard against them.

Cruz Azul vs. Chivas Guadalajara - My Pick

• Cruz Azul vs. Chivas Guadalajara pick: Both teams to score yes (-143) at bet365

Recent encounters between the two have not gone well for either team in the both teams to score market; that said, we feel the groove both teams are in they can breach both keepers. Between the pair, they have recorded 11 total goals across six matches. Cruz Azul is surrendering just over a per-game average, while Chivas, playing away from home, has a higher probability of conceding.

Helping round out our wager, both sides possess a plethora of attacking options, with only needing a moment of brilliance to score a goal.
