It has been a good start to the tournament for El Guadalajara, who will be looking for their first win of the Clausura 2023 at home this Sunday at 5 p.m. when they host Querétaro at the Estadio Akron on Matchday 5 of the Liga MX, a result that would allow them to get right into the fight for the top four places in the standings.
Chivas, in sixth place with 7 points, defeated Bravos de Juárez 1-2 in J4, while Gallos Blancos, in 16th place with 2 points, drew 3-3 against Atlas in their most recent match, their J4 match against Cruz Azul having been rescheduled.
Veljko Paunovic won’t have Alexis Vega and Antonio Briseño, who continue with their respective rehabilitation processes, and Isaac Brizuela underwent surgery this week (check the medical report here). Mauro Gerk, meanwhile, has no injured players and will be able to count on having Kevin Balanta, who served his punishment after being sent off on matchday 2.
