Chivas and Monarcas Morelia meet for the second time in a week as Matias Almeyda’s men look to head into the international break with another win.
The Rebaño Sagrado received a pleasant surprise during the midweek when it was announced that six of their players would be in Mexico’s squad for their upcoming friendlies against New Zealand and Panama. Among those six players are regulars like Isaac Brizuela, Orbelin Pineda, and Rodolfo Cota, while new signing Alan Pulido makes his long-awaited return to the national team.
Of course, that wasn’t the only boost Chivas received during the midweek as they also clinched a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa MX with a 1-0 win over Monarcas Morelia.
