Chivas News
Chivas Guadalajara are currently in good form, entering the liguilla in 7th place of the Liga MX standings with 26 points earned during the regular season.
Chivas defeated Necaxa 1-0 in the Repechaje match, and then went on to defeat Club America 1-0 in a very tight match in Guadalajara.
Chivas has their best striker out with an injury, and has definitely lacked his attacking prowess. Nonetheless, Chivas’ defense has held firm, not allowing any goals through two Liga MX playoff matches so far.
Chivas’ defense must continue to hold strong if the Guadalajara team wants to reach the semi-finals.
Injured Players: JJ Macias will miss the match due to injury. Chivas will be lacking their best striker, though they’ve reached this stage of the playoffs without him.

Club America News
On the opposite side, Club America finished the Liga MX season in third place with 32 points earned.
Club America had a long break because they were not involved in the Repechaje. This might have affected them, as they looked a bit off in the first leg against Chivas.
Nonetheless, Club America has to be considered a favorite to defeat Chivas and move on to the semi-finals. They have the talent and experience to move on.
America plays very will at home, having been defeated just a single time, and winning six out of nine matches played in Mexico City.
Furthermore, a 1-0 win would be enough for the Mexico City team. A 1-1 aggregate score would mean Club America move on to the semi-final due to the higher seed tie-breaker rule.

Club America vs Chivas Guadalajara Liguilla Rules
The quarter-finals follow the away goals rules. Thus, if the final score of the second leg ends in a 2-1 victory for Club America, the aggregate score would be 2-2, and Chivas would win the tie-breaker thanks to scoring an away goal.
If the aggregate score happens to end up tied with the away goal not deciding the tie-breaker, the higher seeded team would move on. For example, if Club America wins the second leg 1-0, the aggregate score would end 1-1 (no away goals), and Club America would reach the semi-finals as the higher seeded team.
Thus, it will be imperative for Chivas to score an way goal, as this would force America to have to win by a margin of two goals, for example 3-1. The away goal rule is a powerful tie-breaker.
Club America vs Chivas Guadalajara Prediction
Chivas have the 1-0 lead and will look to slow the pace of the match, frustrate Club America, and hope they overcommit on the attack.
Nonetheless, Piojo has been in this stage many times before, and will know how to manage the situation. A 1-0 away loss in the first leg is not an insurmountable score, but Club America must be careful. Club America allowing an away goal could be disastrous.
I expect a close encounter, an excellent Clasico will take place in this second leg of the quarter-finals. Club America will win 2-0 and move on to the semi-finals of the Liga MX.
It will be an intense match, but Piojo’s experience will prevail, Chivas lacks the experience in knockout matches, and Club America will achieve victory.
