Match Preview
Chivas de Guadalajara are fourth on 20 points from 12 matches. Apertura 2026 has no Play-In round, so the top eight go straight to the Liguilla quarterfinals.
Eighth place, the last direct Liguilla place, is Monterrey on 17 points. A home win keeps Chivas de Guadalajara clear of that line with four matches left.
Necaxa are 17th on nine points from 12 matches. They are eight points behind Monterrey in eighth, so every remaining match carries real pressure.
Estadio Akron also hosts a doubleheader that night, with Chivas Guadalajara Femenil facing Necaxa Femenil later that evening in Liga MX Femenil.

Key Storylines
Chivas de Guadalajara need a win again. The hosts are four league matches without a win, with three draws and one defeat since beating Pumas UNAM.
Gabriel Milito still has his team fourth, inside the direct Liguilla places. Protecting that position starts with winning home matches like this one.
Necaxa have not won since Jornada 2. Their last league win was the 2-1 victory over Monterrey in Jornada 2, and the wait has reached this trip.
Juan Reynoso took over after Jornada 8, and his team led at Pachuca before drawing 3-3. Turning performances into a win remains the task.
The gap at both ends of the race. Chivas de Guadalajara can strengthen a top-four hold, while Necaxa need points simply to stay in touch with eighth.
