With motivation at its peak after winning its first match of the semester against Gallos, Chivas is preparing for Matchday 4 of the Apertura 2024, in which it will face Mazatlán FC at the Akron Stadium. As part of the preview of this match, we take a look back at the history of this rivalry since the Cañoneros' foray into Liga MX.
This will be the ninth time that the two teams from Guadalajara and Sinaloa will meet in the national championship and the record is clearly in favor of the Red and White side, who have won on 4 occasions, with 2 draws and only 2 defeats. In fact, on 4 of those occasions the Cañoneros visited the Akron, losing on 3 occasions and winning only 1.
The biggest win in the history of the rivalry belongs to Guadalajara, who defeated the Sinaloans 4-1 on Game Day 17 of the Clausura 2023, thanks to goals from Víctor Guzmán, Alexis Vega, Fernando Beltrán and Isaac Brizuela.
The immediate precedent between the two was a 2-2 draw in Mazatlan, with two goals from Víctor Guzmán, who is, by the way, the top scorer of the Red and White team against the Cañoneros, with three goals.
In the current squads there are several players who have worn both jerseys, such as Ricardo Marín, Luis Olivas and Eduardo Torres. In addition, Víctor Manuel Vucetich, Mazatlán's current coach, coached the Rebaño Sagrado for several tournaments.
Another relevant fact about this match is that they have never played to a goalless draw, which means that they are usually matches that guarantee a good show for the fans. In 7 of the 8 matches played, more than 1 goal has been scored.
There is no doubt that this Saturday's match promises to be a promising one, so we invite you not to miss any detail of Chivas vs. Mazatlán on Chivas TV, la Señal Más Rojiblanca.
