Newly CONCACAF Champions League crowned Chivas of Guadalajara will receive Leon this Saturday, April 28, 2018 (7:06 PM Pacific) at the Estadio Akron. While Chivas is already eliminated from playoff contention, Leon needs a historical miracle to qualify as an 8th seed.
While Chivas was greatly successful in the CCL -winning a title when nobody expected them to- in the Liga MX they have been nothing but terrible. The team coached by Matias Almeyda sits in 17th place with a mere 15 points after 3 wins, 6 ties, and 7 losses. The rebaño sagrado has the third worst offense with 14 goals.
This Saturday, there really is no sense of purpose in their game against Leon other than to give youngsters some first division playing time. This game can also mark the final appearances of team leaders Rodolfo Cota and Oswaldo Alanis.
Like Chivas, Leon has also performed below average this season, gathering 19 points to sit in 13th place. The fiera’s greatest weakness this season has been their defense which has allowed 33 goals to become the league’s worst. While Leon is technically is with some possibility to reach the playoffs, they would need losses by Xolos, Pachuca, Necaxa, Puebla, and Cruz Azul, plus a win against Chivas of about 11 or so goals.
Chivas Guadalajara vs Leon Prediction
The Chivas vs Leon game will be one of the least enticing games to watch this weekend as both teams play for nothing other than to end their season. Chivas will use many youth players and Leon will dream of a miracle. On a fluid encounter, Leon will win with a 3-1 score.
