Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Chivas?
Chivas had a great tournament and finished third, qualifying directly to the quarterfinals. With one more week off than their rival, the team wants to take advantage of the fact that they are more relaxed. However, they know that it will be a tough game.
The Rebaño has 5 unbeaten games and won the last 4 in a row against Necaxa (1-0), León (0-2), Cruz Azul (2-1) and Mazatlán (4-1). Veljko Paunovic’s team has had a great Víctor Guzmán and Alexis Vega, who have been the ones who have led this team during the tournament. Both hope to do so now in the playoffs.
Although they finished above Atlas in the regular phase of the tournament, they cannot be trusted because they know that these derbies are at another level and that the Zorros have been a thorn in Chivas’ side lately, since the latter have 6 games without winning.
The last time Guadalajara was champion was in the 2017 Clausura, and on that occasion, they eliminated Atlas in the quarterfinals.
Why Bet on Atlas?
The best thing that could happen to Atlas was to face Chivas in the quarterfinals. The Zorros show motivation when they play against their eternal rival and raise their level. Benjamín Mora’s team arrives at a great moment and hopes to take advantage of it.
Over the weekend they managed to beat Cruz Azul 0-1 at the Azteca stadium with a goal from Brian Lozano after 2 minutes, and they have already gone undefeated in 7 league games, where they have reaped 4 victories. After a lousy tournament last year, in this one they were able to recover the style of play that led them to the two-time championship, partly thanks to the great level of Julián Quiñones, who has been the team’s leading figure, scoring 12 goals and giving 2 assists; he has participated directly in 9 of the team’s last 16 goals.
The last time they met in the playoffs was in May of last year, and the Rojinegros won and were champions a few weeks later.
Julio Furch has already completed his suspension and will return for this match.
