Guadalajara will face a tough test this Saturday when they host Tigres at Jalisco Stadium, as part of Matchday 14 of the Apertura 2023, as this match means a lot to Chivas, who are playing for many of their aspirations to qualify directly to the Liguilla.
What are the keys to winning the match?
The most important thing for Guadalajara will be to defend their area, Tigres is a rival that attacks with many crosses, so Veljko Paunovic's team will have to be attentive to winning all aerial duels, with special emphasis on also imposing themselves in secondary plays in order to prevent the Felinos from doing damage from the front.
With the ball, it will be very important for the Rebaño to replicate what they did against Atlas as well as they did in the match against Puebla, when they were able to flow thanks to what they did after recovering the ball. Chivas has largely picked up where it left off at the beginning of the tournament and, based on the pressure exerted to recover the ball as soon as possible, has managed to show good attacking variations.
