How is Chivas Guadalajara performing?

Chivas Guadalajara, led by Oscar Garcia, begins Clausura 2025 determined to overcome the inconsistencies shown during Apertura 2024. Despite reaching the playoffs, their performance in the latter stages was irregular, losing crucial matches that kept them from higher standings.

In their last Apertura games, Chivas experienced notable ups and downs. They secured a 2-0 victory over Santos Laguna as visitors, showcasing strong defensive play and capitalizing on limited attacking opportunities. However, they also suffered tough losses, such as 1-0 against San Luis and 2-1 to Atlas at home, where their lack of finishing cost them dearly. This tournament’s start will be critical for demonstrating their potential to contend for the title under Garcia's leadership.

How is Santos Laguna performing?

Santos Laguna, led by Fernando Ortiz, aims to move past a difficult Apertura 2024, where they finished near the bottom of the table. The team struggled with defensive consistency and midfield balance, leading to numerous losses.

In their final matches of the Apertura, Santos failed to establish their playing style. They lost 3-2 to Querétaro, a match where defensive disorganization was evident, conceding goals at critical moments. Additionally, they drew 1-1 with Pachuca and 0-0 with Mazatlán, games where their attack couldn’t capitalize on created chances. Ortiz faces the challenge of rebuilding the team’s confidence and refining strategies to compete effectively in Clausura 2025.
