With just three regular-season games remaining in the 2025 Apertura, Guadalajara can't afford any slip-ups if they want to secure a direct playoff berth. That makes this Saturday's Clasico Tapatio at the AKRON Stadium against Atlas all the more crucial for the Rebano Sagrado.
Last week's 1-0 loss at Queretaro was a tough pill to swallow. Despite dominating with 74% possession and firing 22 shots, Chivas came away empty-handed. Still, there's reason for optimism. Prior to that setback, they had been rolling—winning four of their previous five matches, including a hard-fought 1-1 draw against America and a solid victory over Pumas at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.
Chivas are licking their wounds after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Gallos, sitting in eighth with 20 points—just a single point shy of securing a direct playoff spot. Atlas, on the other hand, picked up steam with a 2-0 victory over León, climbing to 11th place with 16 points and keeping their postseason hopes alive.

Chivas team news
Fans have a new star to rally behind in Armando "The Ant" Gonzales, who's quickly emerging as a potential heir to Chicharito and Alan Pulido. While he struggled to find the net against Queretaro, his previous performance versus Mazatlan showed just how lethal he can be. The young forward harbors big dreams, earning a spot in the Mexican national team and one day testing himself in Europe.
Atlas team news
Meanwhile, Atlas are carrying plenty of momentum of their own. Their latest win has put them just a point shy of the playoff play-in spot. In a club long plagued by ownership upheaval and off-field instability, the return of Diego Cocca, the tactician who guided them to two championships, seems to have reignited a winning mindset.
Uros Djurdjevic, the Montenegrin striker, has been the embodiment of that resurgence, finding the back of the net with consistent precision and giving Cocca's side a potent offensive edge.
