A crucial test is approaching that could mark a turning point for Chivas in the 2025 Apertura, as they have the opportunity to advance directly to the playoffs, starting with a victory over the Tuzos in Matchday 16. In fact, in recent years, Guadalajara has done very well against the team from Hidalgo, so much so that we think this Sunday's match could be painted red and white.
In recent years, El Rebaño Sagrado has not only shown its dominance against Pachuca when playing away, but has also managed to take control of the rivalry in general. Yes, Guadalajara has a tremendous record against the Hidalgo team, having gone six games without losing to the Tuzos.
The last time Guadalajara lost to Pachuca was in Matchday 2 of CL22, a game played on January 16, 2022. This means that it has been almost four years without defeat against the Tuzos, which does not define anything for this Sunday's match, but it does make us think that the Rebaño can achieve a positive result that will help them secure sixth place overall.
This streak consists of three wins and three draws; in addition, in four of the six matches, Guadalajara managed to keep a clean sheet. As if that weren't enough, the last three matches between the two teams ended in victory for the Rojiblancos, so Gabriel Milito's side will be looking to extend their good run and pull away from their closest pursuers in the standings.
