This Saturday, October 14, 2017 (7:06 PM Pacific) Chivas of Guadalajara will host Monarcas Morelia at the Estadio Chivas for a match in the Liga MX Apertura 2017. While Chivas is practically eliminated from playoff contention, Monarcas Morelia has been exceeding expectations and is in the top eight.
Chivas vs Morelia Match Preview
Chivas of Guadalajara has been the most disappointing team in the Liga MX Apertura 2017, currently in 16th place with only nine points. Los Rojiblancos have not won in three consecutive games and are coming off two consecutive losses against Tigres UANL and Lobos BUAP.
Many Chivas’ players have not been performing up to expectations, Alan Pulido is just coming back from injury and may help generate some offense for this team. Players like Rodolfo Pizarro, Angel Zaldivar and Orbelin Pineda have been really disappointing and need to step it up in this game.
Monarcas Morelia has been a really surprising team because of its success, currently eighth in the Liga MX Apertura 2017 with 16 points. La Monarquia is coming off an impressive 3-0 win against Club Tijuana, where a brace by Diego Valdes led the team to the three points.
Peruvian striker Raul Ruidiaz has been one of the most important players on the team, currently leading the team with seven goals and should be one of the main players to watch in this game. Even with the evident gap in performance by the two teams the game should still prove to be a very intense and hard-fought duel.
