What does Chivas need to qualify directly for the Liguilla?

Finally we arrive at the last day of the Closing 2024 and in Chivas They do it with the task of achieving direct classification to the league and avoid the new “Play-In” of Mexican soccer; however, on this occasion the task does not depend only on them.

Fernando Gago You already know the rules and at this moment you have to Guadalajara in seventh position in the general table, so they are out of the league and need the combination of several results to be among the top six in the tournament.

The first thing you should know is that starting this semester, The first six teams in the table qualify for the league. From 7th to 10th there will be a Play-In from which the last two classifieds will emerge, so the objective is that Chivas reach a place among the first six places.

The simplest answer is the following: Chivas must defeat Atlas on the last day and hope that Pachuca either Tigers lose some of their respective commitments; since so much TuzosAs cats, they are at the top of the table, the three tied in points with 28 units.

The difference why Tigres is 5th, Pachuca is 6th and Chivas is 7th It is because of the goal difference, so another of the formulas that would give the Rebaño direct classification is if they beat Atlas and finish with a better difference than the two teams above them:

Tigres has +8 goals, Pachuca +7 and Chivas +6, Therefore, the Sacred Flock should win by more than two goals difference compared to the victories of these other two teams.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the most logical way to define the last classified in the league, since Tigers will receive the Tijuana Xolosand Pachuca will also honor Mazatlantwo teams already eliminated from the postseason, but with the pending task of adding to the quotient table.

This is when the window opens that, yes Tigres, Pachuca and Chivas win, the three could still enter the league directly, since they would only need Monterey lost at home Necaxa on the last day.

There is a slight chance that Chivas get a direct pass to the league with a draw vs Atlassince I should only hope that Tigres or Pachuca lose their respective games at home; However, now you should also expect that Necaxa (8th) did not win against Monterrey and Pumas (9th) did not win by more than one goal against Querétaro.
