The Clausura 2026 is about to kick off, and Estadio AKRON is getting ready to host the first chapter of the new tournament. This Saturday afternoon, Chivas will begin their journey against Pachuca, a rival they face backed by a positive streak that fuels optimism within the Red-and-White camp.
What is the recent history between Chivas and Pachuca?
Guadalajara are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run against the Tuzos, a stretch that includes four wins and three draws, reflecting the consistency with which the Red-and-White side have imposed their style in this matchup. In fact, the last four meetings have all ended in victories for Chivas, confirming their recent dominance over the team from Hidalgo.
To find the last time El Rebaño fell to Pachuca, one must go back to January 16, 2022 (Matchday 2 of the CL22) — nearly four years ago. Since then, the balance has been clearly favorable for the team now led by Gabriel Milito: seven goals scored and just two conceded, numbers that highlight both attacking efficiency and defensive solidity.
Adding to that, there is a stat that further boosts confidence: Chivas have kept a clean sheet in five of those seven matches, showcasing a level of consistency that has been key to sustaining the streak and making the difference against a consistently challenging opponent.
With this recent history and the added momentum of opening the tournament at home, Guadalajara will look to extend their strong run against Pachuca and start the Clausura 2026 on the right foot, backed by their fans at Estadio AKRON.
