Chivas entered an extremely positive streak in the most important part of the tournament, as this Saturday they won their fourth consecutive match with a 2-0 victory over Querétaro, on Matchday 16 of the Clausura 2024. This result takes on even greater relevance when observing how tight the general table is between first and seventh place, with only 4 points separating them.
The red and white team will finish the penultimate matchday in 7th place in the standings, so they need to win the Clásico Tapatío if they want to enter the Final Phase of the competition. The duel between Guadalajara and Gallos left some very interesting data, so let's break it down below.
