Why Bet on Chivas?
Just when it seemed that Chivas de Guadalajara would get rhythm and show that they had a future under Argentine coach Fernando Gago, they began to suffer setbacks in the Mexican championship. In their previous presentation, the Rebaño lost 2-1 at home to León. Federico Viñas and José Alvarado scored for the visitors, while for Guadalajara, Roberto Alvarado scored from the penalty spot.
Chivas are in ninth place with only 15 points from 11 games. They have won and lost the same number of matches (4) and tied on three occasions. They have conceded five goals in the last two games and have only been able to score one. They have 15 goals for and the same number against. In other words, they are an irregular club.
Fernando Gago needs an impact victory if he wants the rumors surrounding his job to stop. At home, they have not fared the best either, dropping five points out of 15.
Pavel Perez and Jose Castillo should be available for this match.
Why Bet on Club América?
It may not be in first place in the Clausura 2024, but América is a great candidate to be champion in Liga MX. Their status as reigning kings shows them to be a club of hierarchy. In their last league game, the Águilas defeated the always complex Tigres 2-0, with Javairo Dilrosun and Alejandro Zendejas scoring the goals.
The team coached by André Jardine has three wins in a row, scoring eight goals and conceding only one. They have the best defense in the tournament, conceding only six goals in 11 matches. Offensively, they have scored 19 goals. It is a team that knows what it plays and, above all, is sharp when it has to be.
They are the best away team in the league with 13 points. They have only lost once and have four wins. Julián Quiñones and Henry Martin are their most dangerous strikers, with four goals each. Alejandro Zendejas has three goals and another three assists, so we can see that the offense is very dangerous.
Martin and Kevin Álvarez are recovering from physical problems and are doubts about this game.
Final Betting Analysis: Chivas vs. Club América
The last time Chivas hosted the Águilas, the win went to the visitors by 0-1, with a goal by Zendejas.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have América as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 2.01, while Chivas has 3.51, and the draw is at 3.54.
There is no more attractive match in Mexican soccer than this one. Surely the Chivas fans will fill the stadium, but they will end up seeing América celebrate the three points, which in these matches has a plus of hierarchy. We’ll go for a 0-2.
Go for a win for América. If you bet $100 at 2.01, you will gain $101 for a total payout of $201.
