For many teams, the last matchday will be very exciting, 5 clubs have kept their chances alive and are playing for their last opportunity to qualify for the Playoffs. While it is true that our Chivas have already secured their ticket, a series of results could place them in sixth place or drop them to tenth, hence the importance of defeating Cruz Azul on the last matchday.
You might be asking yourself, what does El Rebaño Sagrado have to do to be able to play the Reclasification match at the Akron? Well, here are the different scenarios that could occur before the start of the so-called Fiesta Grande of Liga MX.
IF CHIVAS BEATS CRUZ AZUL

IF CHIVAS DRAWS WITH CRUZ AZUL

IF CHIVAS LOSES TO CRUZ AZUL

- If León wins its match, it would also leapfrog Chiverío in the standings by reaching 24.
- If Necaxa wins, they could overtake Chivas in points (22), but it is difficult to overtake them due to the goal difference; at the moment, the team from Guadalajara has +3 and La Maquina -6.
