CD Guadalajara will be looking to continue their perfect start to the Liga MX campaign when they host Atletico San Luis at the Akron Stadium.
Chivas were excellent in the Clausara tournament last summer finishing up in third place and darting their way into the final of the tournament. The Mexican outfit threw away a 2-0 lead against Tigres in the second-leg but could take immense motivation from their performances last season.
They have had a scintillating start to the new campaign with a fantastic victory against CD Leon away from home. Young gun Jonathan Pedilla fired in the winner to guide Chivas to three points in their opening clash.
Atletico San Luis had a shambolic 2022-23 campaign, failing to reach the playoffs in the Apertura tournament after picking up just 18 points from 17 games, leaving them hovering on the 13th spot in the table.
Some crucial changes in the second stage of the season saw the Athletics finish in 12th place, but they failed to go deep into the playoffs, exiting at the quarter-final stage after losing 4-3 to Club America on aggregate.
A massive concern for Gustavo Leal would be his side's record on the road. San Luis bagged just 4 points from 9 away games dementing their chances of having a successful campaign. A share of spoils against Monterrey would hurt Atletico who looked like a dominant force throughout the 90 minutes but failed to convert their chances into goals.
The game between Chivas and San Luis will be broadcast live on FuboTV, Peacock, and SlingTV.)

And after a win in their opening game, Chivas could field the same eleven with momentum on their side. 17-year-old Padilla, who scored his maiden goal for the club, could be enforced on the right wing with the experienced campaigner Isaac Brizuela being dropped to the bench.
Brizuela can create havoc if brought on as a substitute which will also help the Mexican outfit to rotate its players.
