Guadalajara’s current form is no coincidence. Sitting at the top of the table and riding a winning momentum that excites fans, the Rebaño Sagrado heads into a stadium that, over time, it has made its own: Estadio Monterrey. A venue where many teams struggle, but where Chivas has built a true extension of the AKRON.
With the top spot back in their hands and the motivation of three consecutive wins, Guadalajara is fully focused on its next challenge against Rayados, corresponding to Matchday 12 of the Clausura 2026. Gabriel Milito’s squad has shown an enviable level of performance and, with the second half of the tournament underway, is aiming to secure a playoff spot as soon as possible.
To get even closer to that goal, they face an attractive matchup in a stadium where, over the years, they have felt right at home. Since its opening, the Guadalajara side has won 6 of its 11 visits to the Guadalupe venue, across Liga MX and Copa MX, with the record completed by 3 draws and 2 losses.
Their dominance has been clear: Chivas has scored at least one goal in 10 of those visits, totaling 19 goals in Rayados’ home and building a streak of 9 matches without defeat in Monterrey. Among those results is the unforgettable Copa MX Clausura 2017 semifinal, where Guadalajara eliminated Rayados on their way to lifting the title.
This superiority is also reflected in short tournaments, where the history favors the Rebaño: 14 wins and 6 draws since Invierno 96, accumulating 48 points for the red-and-white side.
With their vertical style, commitment, and control of the game, Chivas will take the field this Saturday aiming for another victory in CL26—one that further confirms Estadio Monterrey as an extension of the “Home of Mexicans.”
