Chivasare set to host arch-rivals Club América at Akron Stadium on Wednesday in the opening leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 showdown. The home side punched their ticket to the knockout stage with a commanding 4-1 victory over Cibao last month, while America earned direct entry as the reigning Liga MX champions.
Guadalajara have delivered decisive results in recent outings, securing three wins in their last five matches. They edged Pumas UNAM 1-0 in Liga MX Clausura last week, with Luis Gabriel Rey Mejía netting a dramatic stoppage-time winner.
Meanwhile, Águilas enter this clash on a three-game unbeaten run, having won their last two on the bounce. They dispatched Toluca 3-0 at home last week, marking back-to-back clean sheets. Álvaro Fidalgo opened the scoring in the sixth minute and later set up a second-half goal to seal the victory.

CD Guadalajara team news
Chivas have opted for a complete overhaul, bringing an end to the club's Spanish-led regime. The front-office figures steering the ship were dismissed last week, and all signs point to Óscar García being the next to depart, as his tenure has taken a turbulent turn.
During the transfer window, Guadalajara made significant moves in the MLS market, securing the signings of AlanPulido, Miguel Tapias, and Fidel Barajas to reinforce their squad.
CF America team news
Meanwhile, CF America, led by a manager celebrated for his strategic expertise, thrives on a possession-heavy style aimed at dictating play in the midfield and carving out chances through fluid passing movements. Boasting a lethal attacking unit, América poses a constant threat to any defense, especially given their current red-hot form.
