Chivas will hope to continue their winning ways after defeating Atlas, as their coach Tomas Boy faces the team in which he coached his only Liga MX final, Monarcas Morelia. Morelia meanwhile returns home after getting a key away win in Toluca as new coach Pablo Guede has changed the face of the team and made it into a contender. If Chivas meanwhile gets the result, the boost will come prior to next week’s big game against their biggest rival, Club America.
Chivas’ struggling season took a pause when they got the victory at home against their city rivals Atlas in their second biggest regular season game.
