Betting on Club Deportivo Guadalajara
Chivas showed a variety of faces throughout the regular stage of Clausura 2023, but it looked much better than in the previous tournament. The improvement was confirmed by its direct qualification to the Liguilla, finishing among the top four teams in the overall standings. In fact, Chivas ended with four consecutive victories and five undefeated matches to secure its spot.
In the quarterfinals, the team faced its regional rival, Atlas, losing the first match, but winning the second. Despite not winning the series, its position in the standings gave the team access to the semifinals to face its archrival, America.
With the recent victory over Atlas, Chivas achieved four consecutive home wins. Regardless of the result, Chivas has scored at least one goal in each of its nine home games this season.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Miguel Jimenez; Alan Mozo, Jesus Orozco, Gilberto Sepulveda, Cristian Calderon; Fernando Gonzalez; Carlos Cisneros, Fernando Beltran, Pavel Perez, Victor Guzman; Alexis Vega
Betting on Club America
America was confident heading into the second leg of the quarterfinals after winning 1-3 in the first leg, but it got a big scare when Atlético de San Luis equalized the aggregate score. The team lost the game 1-2, but still qualified with an aggregate score of 4-3. So, with that defeat, America’s favorable streak of eight games without losing, including six wins and two draws, came to an end.
The blue and yellow team scored the most goals during the regular stage, with a total of 36, averaging 2.11 goals per game. In 19 games played so far, the Eagles only failed to score in two of them.
Something that cannot go unnoticed is that the capital team won the last five away games, and it is also the only team that remains unbeaten in this condition, with a record of nine games without losing, including six wins and three draws.
Possible Lineup (4-3-2-1): Luis Malagón; Miguel Layún, Israel Reyes, Sebastián Cáceres, Luis Fuentes; Leonardo Suárez, Álvaro Fidalgo, Richard Sánchez; Jonathan Rodríguez, Diego Valdés; Henry Martín.
