Chivas didn’t have the expected start in Liga MX, having gone three games without a win. However, they will have another opportunity at home against Toluca, that are unbeaten.
The ‘Rebaño’ comes from a 1-1 draw in its visit to Tijuana, which translates to only two points out of a possible nine.
Toluca is undefeated in the Mexican championship, with two away draws and a victory at home.

Why Bet on Chivas?
In 2023, Chivas reached a final and a semifinal in Liga MX but decided to change the technical direction with the arrival of Fernando Gago. Sadly for them, the results are not going well for the Argentinean coach.
The ‘Rebaño’ is coming from a 1-1 draw in their visit to Xolos de Tijuana, who took the lead with a goal by Carlos González. Roberto Alvarado scored for Guadalajara.
Chivas are in ninth place, even though they have not won in three matches. The other results were a 1-1 draw with Santos Laguna and a 1-0 defeat against Tigres.
So far, Gago’s hand is noticeable in some minutes of good possession and soccer cohesion, but this is not enough to be reflected in the scoreboard.
However, the Argentine coach now has a weapon that could make his debut at the Akron Stadium, Javier ‘El Chicharito’ Hernández, the striker who arrives from LA Galaxy, from the MLS. The forward returns to his first home, after playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen, among other teams.
For now, the ‘Rebaño’ has Isaac Brizuela and Carlos Cisneros injured.
Why Bet on Toluca?
Toluca has an important debt because last semester, it was not a competitive team, being unable to reach the Playoffs.
The ‘Diablo’ comes from a 1-1 draw with Puebla away from home. Fernando Navarro scored for the home team, while Robert Morales scored for the visitors.
This year, the team changed coach and hired the Portuguese Renato Paiva, who has made a good start, taking five points out of a possible nine and obtaining, for now, the sixth position.
Toluca wins at home and draws away. That has been their management in 2024. But what can be highlighted, is that they have great power when it comes to scoring, since they have seven goals, being the second-best attack just behind Monterrey, leaders of the tournament.
Their most dangerous player is the Chilean Jean Meneses, who has scored twice and assisted on one occasion. That is a very different face from last semester when he did not score a single goal.
The team reports no injuries.
