What They're Saying
Chivas Guadalajara defender Jair Pereira on his team's current status (via Esto): "We had higher objectives this season, but it's been difficult for us. We have to get out of this poor run of form."
Chiapas manager Ricardo La Volpe on facing Chivas (via Esto): "You don't win games because of the uniform you wear. It's been a long time since they [Chivas] have won, but of course you still have to respect them. It's not about being scared."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Aviles Hurtado scored a brace in Chiapas' 3-1 victory over Morelia last Saturday. The 28-year-old will look to exploit a suspect Chivas defense.
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (4-2-2-2): Rodriguez; Hernandez, Marin, Alanis, Villanueva; Ortiz, Enriquez; Ramirez, Cisneros; Bravo, Fierro
Chiapas' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Villalpando; Mustafa, Venegas, Araujo, Insaurralde; Paredes, Torre, Silva, Rodriguez; Romero, Hurtado
