The 2017 Clausura has Chivas deservedly sitting in fourth place on the league table. While the play style on the pitch has been attractive, Matías Almeyda and company have been frustrated with some results and their ability to capitalize.

El Rebaño has a golden opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the league when the face their nemesis this Saturday night at the Estadio Chivas.
The same team that has eliminated them from their previous two Liguilla appearances currently walks—slowly—into Chivas’ home struggling.
