The Apertura 2024 began with good feelings on the part of Guadalajara, which confirmed the defensive solidity it showed last semester, in addition to confirming that it will be a team that will be looking for prominence in the current tournament.
Tijuana will be the first away match for Fernando Gago's team, a venue they will be visiting for the second time in the calendar year and which has become an easy opponent for the Rebaño Sagrado in recent tournaments.
How has Chivas fared when facing Xolos in this decade?
Nine Liga MX tournaments have passed since the beginning of the decade, all of them marked with a clear trend: when Chiverío faces the team from Baja California, it's a guarantee of points for the Red and White team. We're not just saying that, the track record says it, as it translates into 6 wins and 3 draws, which have earned Guadalajara 21 out of a possible 27 points against the Caninos.
The streak is so solid that the Rebaño only allowed 4 Tijuana goals in that entire period, while scoring 11. In fact, on Xoloitzcuintle soil, the balance is 2 wins and 3 draws for Chivas.
