This loss to Xolos cost Gustavo Lema his job, andhe was heavily criticized by the fans. The Argentine coach had been in charge for a year, leading the team in 54 matches, with 23 wins, 13 draws, and 18 losses. A replacement has yet to be announced for this weekend.

On the field, their 15 goals conceded make them one of the worst defensive teams, having kept just two clean sheets.At home, they have two wins, two draws, and one loss.

Things aren’t exactly great for Chivas, but they’re in a better position than their opponent. With the same 11 points, they sit in 10th place but have played one game less. It’s been a “balanced” tournament for them, with three wins, three losses, and two draws. They have scored 11 goals and conceded the same amount.

They are coming off a 2-1 victory against Pachuca, with goals from Alan Pulido and Luis Romo, maintaining their home unbeaten streak with three wins and two draws. However, they have been the worst away team in the tournament, losing all three of their road matches.

Necaxa (3-2), León (2-1), and Toluca (2-1) have been their executioners in the La Liga MX, with all defeats coming by just one goal.

The only match where they managed a clean sheet was their season opener, a 1-0 win against Santos.

Defender Miguel Tapias was sent off against the ‘Tuzos’ but will serve his suspension against Atlético San Luis, meaning he will be available for head coach Oscar García this weekend.
