Chivas de Guadalajara achieved its first victory in an official match under the orders of Marcelo Michel Leaño. The rojiblanco team beat Toluca in match day 13 of the Grita México 2021 tournament of the MX League by a score of 2-0. The Sacred Herd rose to ninth in the general table and will seek to continue to climb positions to play at home in the playoffs. There are four dates ahead and Chiverío has the future in its hands.
For the next date, Guadalajara will visit Xolos de Tijuana in Mictlán. On paper, the canines are the worst team in Mexican soccer, yet they could be a surprise at the border. These are five things Chivas should keep in mind before taking on the Xolaje.
It is always difficult to play on the Xolos de Tijuana court. The artificial grass is an advantage for the locals and can be a factor that makes it difficult for Chivas to play the football they are used to. The bounce is different, the ball runs differently.
Despite the fact that Chivas looks like a great favorite to take the three points in Tijuana, the rojiblanco team should not be overconfident. It is true, Xolos is the top of the tournament and has only collected eight points in 13 games. However, surprises in Liga MX are common.
It would be difficult to defend the performance of Xolos de Tijuana in this tournament. His performance has been frankly disastrous. However, the Xolaje has potential for much more: it has players like Mauro Manotas, Fidel Martínez, Eryc Castillo, David Barbona, and so on. They can wake up to Chivas.
The victory against Toluca can disguise some of the shortcomings of the Sacred Flock. It is important that the team have their feet on the ground when facing Xolos. Chivas would make a big mistake by falling into early triumphalism.
Chivas is one of the worst offenses in the championship. The rojiblanco team has scored only 10 goals in the campaign, the same as Xolos de Tijuana. Their offense is only more powerful than that of Pumas and Querétaro, two of the worst teams in the league.
