Guadalajara will experience a very intense end to the tournament, as they will be playing for everything in the closing stages of the Regular Phase. Just like Chivas, there are several teams that are waiting for a place in the top 6 of the standings to qualify directly for the Playoffs and, therefore, every point will be vital, starting this Saturday against Pachuca in Matchday 15.
To find out all the possibilities that the Rebaño Sagrado has, here are the scenarios that can be presented with 3 games left to play, which means 9 points in dispute.
Where does Chivas stand?
- Fernando Gago's team is in 9th place in the standings with 22 points, within the Play-In positions. Guadalajara is currently two points behind sixth place, which is currently occupied by Necaxa.
How many points are the Rebaño aiming for?
- If Chivas wins the remaining 9 points in dispute, it would reach 31 points and would have a good chance of qualifying directly, since it will also face 2 rivals with whom it is fighting for a place in the top 6 of the standings: Pachuca and Querétaro.
Which teams are competing with the Red and White team for a direct ticket?
- At the moment 5 teams are in the Play In competition with Guadalajara: Pachuca, Necaxa, Tigres, Querétaro, Pumas, and León.
What will the activity of these teams be on game day 15?
- Querétaro hosts Mazatlán at the Corregidora.
- Necaxa will play Santos in Aguascalientes.
- Tigres will play the Clasico Regio at home.
- Pumas and León will face each other at Ciudad Universitaria.
What are the Rebaño's scenarios?
- If Chivas wins this matchday at the Hidalgo Stadium, it will catch up with Pachuca with 25 points, while waiting for the goal difference to decide which team finishes above the other in the table. Los Tapatíos need a win by a 2-goal difference to overtake Los Tuzos in that regard.
- In the event of a draw, Guadalajara would have 23 points, which would keep them in ninth place, unless Pumas defeats León and, due to the goal difference, the capital team would take the position from them.
- If the Rebaño, unfortunately, falls in the Bella Airosa, it could be overtaken by the winner of the duel between Pumas and León, although if these teams tie, it would retain ninth place in the standings.
