What kind of match will Chivas vs León be?

30/06/2023 15:49 / Enrique Noriega

There is no better way to kick off a semester than with a highly demanding match which is why Guadalajara has been concerned with taking care of every detail of their preparation to be able to have a great match against León, in their debut in the Apertura 2023.

The Rebaño's last result against the Esmeraldas is positive, as in the previous tournament they visited the Nou Camp and won 0-2. That match, Chivas struck an authoritative blow by imposing their conditions on the footballing level, just when the Panzas Verdes were finding their playing rhythm.

What awaits the team from Guadalajara when they face off versus Larcamón's men?

It is almost a given that the game will be a high-tempo game, as both teams have players who are able to accelerate their attacks. In addition, having the ball is a priority in the model of play proposed by both teams, which allows us to anticipate that it will be a game with many transitions.

Another point to consider is the period of inactivity that both teams are coming from, because even though they have had
friendly matches in between, it is very different to play preparation matches as opposed to formal competition matches.

Will the same match stats seen in the previous tournament be repeated?

On that day, Chivas was outplayed in the first half, but their good defense allowed them to go to the break with a clean sheet. In the second half, we saw a corrected version of the red and white team, they controlled the match with the ball and a correct occupation of the spaces. The goals scored by Pavel and 'Oso' were proof of this.

It is difficult to think that we will see a similar match, since both teams have absentees and the coaches have had time to evolve their projects. Since the last time they met, Chivas reached a final and León was crowned in CONCACAF, so the sign of change is clear.

It will be interesting to see how 'Pauno' will make up for the absences of Vega and Alvarado, as he has players who can fulfill those roles and who will surely serve as tools to open the door to León.

We are sure that Chivas will have a positive footballing performance, which would be very valuable to start on a positive streak from the first day of the competition.
