Chivas Guadalajara and FC Juárez square off this Saturday in an Apertura Liga MX clash where both sides are desperate to steady the ship after stumbling out of the gates.
For Chivas, it’s been a mixed bag so far — just one win from their opening three matches, with a pair of defeats keeping them lodged in mid-table. Their latest setback came via a gut-punch of a late penalty, underlining the need for sharper defensive focus in crunch moments. While their attack has shown flashes of promise, turning that into week-to-week consistency remains the big challenge.
Juárez’s woes have been even deeper. Rooted near the foot of the standings, they’ve scraped together just two points from four outings and are still chasing that elusive first victory. A 2-0 loss to Toluca last time out exposed both their scoring struggles and their tendency to leak goals at the wrong times. Their road record offers little comfort either, with away trips yielding precious few positives.
History, however, tells a lopsided tale — Chivas are unbeaten in their last eight league meetings with Juárez, a streak that hands them a clear psychological boost heading into the weekend. Factor in the roar of the Estadio Akron faithful, and the hosts will feel this is the perfect opportunity to get their season back on track.
