The first double day of the 2024 Clausura Tournament is coming, of the Liga MX, even some games were already advanced. Now, this Tuesday, January 30, Chivas receives the Toluca in it Akron Stadiumwhere the rojiblancos hope to finally add their first victory.
From the outset, for this commitment Guadalajara will not be able to count on Ruben Gonzalezwho saw the red card in added time against the XolosIn addition, it is expected that there will be changes in the starting lineup, since the team's first time on the border was very poor, improving a lot in the complement when the Argentine coach Fernando Gago made three movements, one of them was precisely Bear.
On the other hand, although Ricardo Marin He has already returned to training after recovering from a muscle problem suffered in the League of A2023, it is possible that he will not participate in the clash against the Red Devils either and if he were to be called up, it is almost a fact that he would be on the bench. In the same way, Isaac Brizuela is still not available, as Carlos Cisneroswhile Javier Hernandez It has already been presented, but there is still time left for it to be fully available due to the severe injury suffered last year.
One of the biggest thrills of this match was seeing Alexis Vega facing his former team, where he stopped entering into plans due to his indiscipline and low level, however, the Portuguese coach Renato Paiva He has already ruled it out to appear because he is still not one hundred percent. It is even mentioned that he was already caught throwing his first party after leaving Verde Valle.
“We are not going to take risks because it comes from Chivas, we are not going to get excited about it, to rush; first Alexis' health and performance. Until he is ready for him to appear, we are not going to risk, whatever it may be”declared the helmsman of the choriceros.

Goalkeeper: Raúl Rangel – He was waiting for his opportunity and has had good interventions, even the coach Fernando Gago He has supported him, predicting that he has a bright future.
Defense: Gilberto Sepúlveda – In the first half against Tijuana that was forgettable due to individual errors by several, El Tiba was one of the few that was saved, he even had an action where he managed to hinder Raul Zuniga preventing the Canes Aztecas from increasing the advantage.
Defense: Chiquete Orozco – The youth squad was precisely one of those who made a mistake in the last game, but in the second he made up his mind. It was thought that he could be moved to the left back by dominating the position, but no, the helmsman kept him as a center back.
Left back: José Castillo – Mateo Chavez He started the first three games of the tournament, but against Tijuana he was overwhelmed. The new signing entered the complement to relieve him in the position and performed well, so it could be his opportunity to start now.
Right back: Alan Mozo – One who will hardly leave the starting lineup is the defender who emerged from Ciudad Universitaria. Although he still does not see himself at the same level as last semester, his contribution on the right is important.
Pivot: Erick Gutiérrez – With the expulsion of the Gonzalez BearGuti will have to take on that recovery role, which he knows well, but he will have to be totally focused on recovery, since it does not seem viable for him to Alan Torres be placed at the boot.
Midfielder: Víctor Guzmán – The reality is that the captain has not played a role in the games played and he needs to start appearing otherwise the team will not be able to aspire to more. As a leader you must be respected.
Midfielder: Fernando Beltrán – Another one who has not risen to the occasion either, so this could be his last start if he doesn't get his act together. There are elements that raise their hands to be able to fight for his position.
Left Wing: Cade Cowell – After coming in as a relief in the last two games, now we could see it from the beginning instead of Pavel Perez, since when it is present, more dangerous actions are generated. The new signing has been close to the goal and this duel could be the good one.
Far right: Roberto Alvarado – It is almost a fact that El Piojo is essential to the formation for everything he does on the offensive. He was the scorer of the tying goal against Xolos, but he also scored others.
Forward: José Macías – In the second half against Xolos JJ did not return to put Cowell in his place, however, he could start again as the '9' because his reunion with the goal is needed to gain confidence.
This is what Chivas' possible lineup would look like (4-3-3):
Goalie: Raúl Rangel
Defenses: 'Tiba' Sepúlveda, Chiquete Orozco, José Castillo, Alan Mozo
Midfielders: Erick Gutiérrez, 'Pocho' Guzmán, Fernando Beltrán
Forwards: Cade Cowell, Roberto Alvarado, JJ Macías
Substitutes: Óscar Whalley, Antonio Briseño, Mateo Chávez, Jesús Sánchez, Raúl Martínez, Alan Torres, Pável Pérez, Ronaldo Cisneros, Gael García, Yael Padilla, Armando González, Juan Brigido,
Ricardo Marín
