Guadalajara vs Cruz Azul - Team news

The home team makes it to this game having won six of their last nine matches, three of those coming at home. Los Rojiblancos defeated Necaxa in their previous fixture at home, but their most recent clash against one of the Big Four ended in a 4-2 loss to América last month. In terms of individual performances, Guadalajara will be looking forward to a large contribution by Alexis Vega and Víctor Guzmán, two of the most talented footballers for Guadalajara and who are responsible for seven of Chivas' goals this campaign.

On the other hand, Cruz Azul were handed a tough loss by América last week, which ended a run of four games without a loss. Luckily for La Máquina, their away record shows that their last three games on the road have ended with them collecting points (two draws, one win). In terms of which players to keep an eye on, coach Ferretti will be forced to change his lineup due to last week's result and by some absences he will have to endure, but Uriel Antuna's goalscoring prowess will come in handy for their intentions to win this clash.

Here is the list of absences for both sides ahead of this game.

Guadalajara - Injured: Juan José Macías. Suspended: Jesús Orozco.

Cruz Azul - Suspended: Michael Estrada.

Guadalajara vs Cruz Azul - Standings prior to this match

The hosts make it to this clash in fourth place, which puts them in pole position for a spot in the playoffs despite a shaky campaign that has seen them drop points against major rivals at home. On the other hand, Cruz Azul are eighth after a woeful start of the season, and while a win here would keep them in that spot, any other result could jeopardize their options of reaching the wild card stage if Santos, San Luis, or Atlas win their matches this week.
