Unfortunately for the Sacred Flock, it will not be able to count on Armando Gonzalez up front, after being injured against Stripedleaving in doubt whether or not he may be ready to see action. The first reports launched a muscle load in the left thigh and the medical staff would prefer not to risk it and be cautious because they fear that this could trigger severe muscle overload or worse, a tear.
Likewise, others who might not be ready to grieve would be Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez and Pavel Perezwithout forgetting the case of the Mexican American Cade Cowellwho is still injured and his recovery time is still long.
In order to win, Guadalajara needs some of its players to be key in the Argentine coach’s approach Fernando Gago.

El Piojo continues to be the best element of the rojiblancos, since he is in charge of constantly attacking on the right wing to generate scoring opportunities, taking advantage of his good control of the ball and his speed when facing one-on-one situations.
In the clash against Monterrey, the World Cup player assisted in a great way Ricardo Marin for him to score his goal.
With the unfortunate injury of The Ant Gonzalez against the royals and the low probability that Chicharito can see action, 4K will carry the responsibility of being the scorer. Fortunately for the striker, he managed to find the goal again just when he relieved his injured teammate and hopes to repeat the formula against a team he already managed to score against in the last Classic.
Added to this, he will have the pressure that the coaching staff will give the opportunity to Teun Wilke of the Tapatío to appear in the first team call-up to seek to be a solution in case the goals do not arrive.
Another who will seek to wash away his mistake from the last game. Tala has given guarantees under the goal, earning the constant support of the fans, in addition to now becoming a goalkeeper for the national team.
Against the royals he had only one mistake and it cost him dearly, since he did not know how to clear a ball that ended up winning him Jesus ‘Tecatito’ Coronacatapulting them to only add one point instead of three.
In the last duels, El Nene has had good performances, something that is expected from a player trained at home and from whom a lot has been expected for a long time.
Now, when it comes to Classic Tapatíoit is obvious that the players trained in the quarry must feel with greater passion that they must beat the hated rival, so it is expected that they will go out on a good afternoon to generate football from the midfield, without yet knowing if they will have the contribution of Erick Gutierrezsince there has not yet been a report on whether he is really injured or not after coming off the bench last day.
He may not have as many spotlights as the rest of his teammates, but he seems to have earned a place in the starting eleven after a clean battle with Mateo Chavez.
Atlas has shown defensive fragility and even more so seeing what happened in the last match where they were beaten 4-1 by the Toluca.
The Tuzo youth player will have to constantly get on the attack to roam the rival area and try to make his teammates up front make the difference, without neglecting his number one task, remembering that in the Rojinegros the Venezuelan John Murillo and Eduardo Aguirre are dangerous, something that will also keep people busy. Antonio Briseno, Chiquete Orozco and Alan Mozothose who complement the defensive stop.
