And so, the Estadio Chivas in Jalisco will play host to the first 90 minutes of what promises to be a memorable Clasico Nacional quarterfinal tie. Chivas and America have won 11 and 12 league titles respectively, a history of success that is still unmatched in Liga MX and underscores everything you need to know about this rivalry.
Chivas has clearly read the script for how to win a Liga MX title. They are the red-hot team at the moment, finishing the season unbeaten in their last seven league games. After a season in which Chivas didn't win their first game of the season until week 9, Matias Almeyda has done a superb job in front of the team, and Jorge Vergara's confidence on the young Argentina coach has so far been validated.
