The moment is unbeatable for Guadalajara, who after taking away the Rayados' unbeaten streak, have the opportunity to string together victories to get into the direct qualification positions for the Clausura 2024. However, the task will not be easy, as they will face Puebla, who are at the bottom of the table and will be looking to make their current semester more decent.
What happened the last time they met?
The most recent clash between the two took place on Matchday 13 of the Apertura 2023 and on that day Chivas won 0-2. The goals were scored by Roberto Alvarado from the penalty spot and Ronaldo Cisneros with a spectacular scissor kick.
