The Club America vs Chivas Guadalajara Super Clasico will be live via stream and TV at 4:00 PM Pacific this Sunday, September 30, 2018. Club America will host this season’s Super Clasico at the historic Estadio Azteca, which will have a sold-out crowd.
Club America just had its worse loss of the season, an unprecedented and hilariously embarrassing defeat in the Copa MX Round of 16 at the hands of Ascenso MX minnow Juarez. Club America played terribly at the Azteca, and ended the match 2-2, with Juarez knocking out the home team via penalties. Piojo’s reaction to the loss was to blame the players that missed penalties, and seal off the team from all media and fan contact in the lead up to the Super Clasico.
Chivas was also eliminated from the Copa MX, though at least it lost to Pumas 1-3, a respected Liga MX side. Chivas took a different approach in the lead up to the Super Clasico, allowing fans and media to interact with its players. Hoping that the positive vibes will translate to a good result on the pitch.
Chivas currently sits in 11th place with 14 points, a loss against America would seriously endanger any opportunities the team might have to make it to the playoffs. A win would move it into 8th place, while a draw would put it tied with four other teams for the 8th placed spot. In summary, Chivas cannot lose against America, they need the point(s).
America has had a much better season, and lies in 3rd place with 20 points, a win could see them move up to the first place, and one step closer to securing the home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Piojo has done a good job with his team, and he should be able to guide his players to a very important win over Chivas. Nonetheless, America will have to do this without Diego Lainez, who is still injured.
Club America vs Chivas Guadalajara Prediction
Although Club America is coming off an embarrassing and disastrous defeat at the hands of Ascenso MX side Juarez in the Copa MX Round of 16, Piojo Herrera has surely rallied his team. Chivas has recovered what appeared to be a lost season, but Club America has been playing well nearly all season long.
Look for Club America to go on the attack from the get-go, while Chivas holds back and gets ready to play on the counter-attack. In the end, Club America will have enough to come out with a slim 1-0 victory.
