Chivas suffered a significant setback last weekend, losing the Derby to Club America. The defeat dropped Chivas into the Requalification positions, but they’ll need to quickly shift their focus from that loss as they prepare for their next challenge. With 11 points, they sit just 3 points shy of automatic qualification for the quarterfinals, and a win is crucial to climb into the top six.
Next up for Chivas are a matchup against Club Leon, one of the tournament’s weaker sides. Leon has only managed to collect four points so far and is desperate for a victory to keep their slim Requalification hopes alive. Chivas, aiming to bounce back from last week’s disappointment, will look to capitalize on Leon’s struggles and solidify their standing in the top half of the table.
