The Chivas Guadalajara vs Leon Liga MX match will be played this Sunday, March 16, 2014 (4:00 PM Pacific) at the Estadio Omnilife. Chivas and Leon will face-off in one of the most noteworthy matches during Week 11 of the Clausura 2014. The Rebaño Sagrado has fallen once again into a terrible run of form, while the Panzas Verdes must win in order to remain within the top positions.

The team coached by Jose Luis Real has not won in three straight matches. In the past three games, Chivas has lost two and tied another, which by effect has pushed them away from the top table positions (13th place/13 points). With a win against Leon, the Rebaño Sagrado will reach 16 points, and has the chance of moving into 5th place.

Meanwhile, Club Leon surprisingly lost last week at home against relegation contender Veracruz 1-0. That loss could be attrubuted to Veracruz’s strong play, however, a better reason is that Leon is beginning to feel the effects of playing in both the Clausura 2014 and the Copa Libertadores. For that same reason, coach Gustavo Matosas is expected to align an alternate team in order to rest main players like Carlos Peña, Luis Montes, or Rafa Marquez.

The Chivas vs Leon match will be one of the best games during Week 11 considering the great stadium atmosphere expected at the Estadio Omnilife. Over 1,000 police personnel will be used to maintain safety at the stadium premises, which only means that many fans from Leon will make the travel into Guadalajara.

The game itself will be fast-paced, as Chivas wants nothing other than a win, while Leon will remain loyal to their offensive style. As the home side, Chivas is the favorite, adding to the fact that Leon will line a ‘B’ squad to rest their players for their mid-week Libertadores game. In a great match, the Chivas vs Leon game will end in a 2-1 win for the home side.
