The Clausura 2023 is getting closer and closer and Guadalajara is aware of it, that's the reason why the Rebaño's workload is becoming more demanding and intense, both physically and in terms of their soccer, which is why this Thursday's friendly against Getafe will be of utmost importance for the red and white team, who are becoming more and more comfortable with the game model proposed by Veljko Paunovic.
Remember that this international match will be played this Thursday at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez and will start at 11 a.m. (Mexico Central Time). Also, remember that you will be able to enjoy it live and exclusively on CHIVASTV.
