Every Liga MX fan is eagerly awaiting the highly-anticipated showdown between CD Guadalajara and Monterrey this Sunday. This week's most exciting Liga MX fixture will unfold at Estadio Akron, and we’re expecting a closely contested battle between two evenly-matched sides.
The hosts, who sit seventh in the Liga MX table with 14 after nine rounds, will look to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Cruz Azul in last week's Liga MX (Apertura) outing. Heading into this matchup, Chivas have been a force at home, remaining unbeaten in their last seven league games at Estadio Akron.
Meanwhile, third-placed Monterrey were held to a goalless draw in their previous Liga MX (Apertura) clash against Mazatlán. Under the guidance of Martín Demichelis, the visitors have found the back of the net 10 times in their last six outings, although they've conceded seven goals over that period. Notably, they remain undefeated in their previous six away games in the league.

Team news & squads
CD Guadalajara team news
Chivas coach Fernando Gago has plenty of reasons to feel frustrated, as his side held their own against Cruz Azul. The defeat at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes felt undeserved, with both teams registering a similar number of attempts and enjoying nearly equal possession throughout the match.
Roberto Alvarado has been a standout for Guadalajara this season, netting three goals and setting up two more. Another vital figure for Chivas is striker Armando Gonzalez, who has consistently been a danger in front of goal, averaging 1.9 shots on target per game. With three goals to his name, he's one of the team's main offensive threats.
CD Guadalajara possible XI: Rangel; Mozo, Briseño, Orozco, Castillo; González, Alvarado; Beltrán, Gutiérrez, Cisneros; González

Monterrey team news
Despite clearly being the standout player in Rayados' lineup, Sergio Canales couldn't break the deadlock in last week's goalless draw against Mazatlan. Nonetheless, the Spanish midfielder remains a top-class performer, contributing to five goals since the start of the season.
The only player for Monterrey who has found the back of the net more often than Canales is their main goal-getter, German Berterame. With five goals to his name since the season began.
With just a slim two-point margin separating Monterrey from Cruz Azul, it's clear that coach Martín Demichelis is focused on securing a victory over Chivas Guadalajara this week.
Monterrey possible XI: Andrada; Arteaga, Moreno, Guzman, Gutierrez; Cortizo; Rodriguez, Ambriz; Canales; Vazquez, Ocampos
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Andrada, Cardenas, Ramos |
| Defenders: | Arteaga, Guzman, Gutierrez, Aguirre, Moreno, Grijalva, Vegas, Leone, Medina, Bustos |
| Midfielders: | Ambriz, Torres, Canales, Rojas, Corona, Cortizo, Rodriguez, Ramirez |
| Forwards: | Berterame, Vazquez, De la Rossa, Ocampos |
