Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Chivas?
Chivas de Guadalajara began this Clausura MX 2024 with the firm conviction of surpassing their performance in the previous one, where they were unable to advance beyond the quarterfinals of the Liguilla.
In the regular season, the ‘Rebaño couldn’t repeat the performance from the first semester, where they were always at the top of the table. The last time, the team was marked by irregularity and grey patches, which led them to finish in fifth with a record of 8 wins, 3 draws, and 6 defeats. However, in the quarterfinals, they faced Pumas and lost in the double match with a 1-3 aggregate score.
It is worth mentioning that Chivas won the first match of the series 1-0, thanks to a goal by Fernando Beltrán Cruz. However, in the second leg, Pumas annihilated them in the Estadio Universitario with a 3-0.
Why Bet on Santos Laguna?
On the other hand, Santos Laguna it’s the kind of outside shoot that, usually, competes to be a protagonist. However, they haven’t found a way to succeed in recent years, and since 2018, they have no titles. The last time, they got their ticket for the postseason after not making it in the previous semester, but were taken out immediately by León in the Play-in.
The departure of Brunetta in this transfer market will be a great hit, as alongside Preciado, he was one of the standout points of an overall, poor team.
The previous tournament was full of ups and downs for ‘La Comarca Lagunera,’ as they were unable to finish the regular season with a positive record (7 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses).
Now, we will have to wait and see how Santos Laguna starts the tournament and if they are in a position to fight in the upper part of the standings.
Final Betting Analysis: Chivas vs. Santos Laguna
In the last 20 matches between these two teams, Santos Laguna leads the series with 8 wins. On the other hand, Chivas has accumulated 6 victories, while 6 games have ended in a draw.
In addition, ‘La Comarca’ beat the ‘Rebaño’ in the last match between them on August 27, 2023, with a score of 2-1.
At 1XBET, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Chivas at 2.02, while Santos Laguna starts at 3.43.
However, we feel that, without his midfield star, Santos Laguna will be a little lost, while Chivas has done positive things to restructure, so their locality should weigh in their favor to get a win.
Look for a win on the Chivas’ Moneyline. For example, if you put $100 on them at 2.02, you’ll see a $102 win with a total payout of $202.
