The Cruz Azul vs Chivas de Guadalajara Liga MX match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Celestes host Los Rojiblancos at the Estadio Azteca this Saturday, August 31, at 7:05 PM Pacific.
Cruz Azul has been struggling in recent weeks, winless in its last two league games and currently in 11th place with nine points. La Maquina is coming off a heartbreaking 3-2 loss against Club Tijuana, where a goal in stoppage time was the deciding factor for Xolos.
Cruz Azul fullback Adrian Aldrete inclusively received a red card in that match and will not be available for this game. Manager Pedro Caixinha is likely to use Juan Escobar to replace Aldrete and it may not prove to be a vital absence for Cruz Azul.
Chivas de Guadalajara is currently in 15th place with just seven points and is not looking like a team that will crack the playoffs. Los Rojiblancos are coming off a 2-1 loss to Necaxa and have now lost their last two games and inclusively allowed six goals in these last two games.
Los Tapatios did have a bye week during the midweek Matchday 7 of the tournament and will be well-rested for this match. While the defense has been struggling recently, it is still the highlight of the team as attacking players like Oribe Peralta and Alan Pulido have been highly inconsistent.
Cruz Azul vs Chivas Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a 2-0 win for Cruz Azul as La Maquina has a much better team than Chivas and will inclusively have the home-field advantage.
