El Guadalajara will face a crucial week for their chances in the Apertura 2022. Either it reaffirms that it is serious about its comeback or it will leave points at home again and fall behind, which is why it is looking to start off on the right foot and defeat Monterrey this Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. at the Estadio Akron, a match previously scheduled for matchday 16 of the Liga MX, the first of two matches to be played in a span of 5 days.
Chivas is coming off a 4-0 away win over Necaxa, a result that has placed them in 13th position with 9 points, while Rayados drew 0-0 with Tigres in the Clasico Regio, still holding the overall lead on the position board with 21 points.
Ricardo Cadena will be able to count on Miguel Ponce, returning after serving his suspension having been sent off in the Clásico Tapatío. Meanwhile, Víctor Manuel Vucetich won't have Rogelio Funes Mori on the bench due to an injury to the muscle-tendon junction of his right thigh.
