Chivas has a very clear mission for the match against the Gallos: win and play attractive fútbol in front of their fans. To start off with, Guadalajara is the best away team so far in the Clausura 2023, but now they need to get three points at the Akron Stadium, in order to climb up the general table and gain the confidence of the Chiva Nation.
Querétaro, on the other hand, did not start the season well and, in their last few visits to the Akron, they have not been at their best. Against this backdrop, here are some facts you probably didn't know and should keep in mind ahead of this Sunday's match, corresponding to Matchday 5.
