Another exciting edition of the Clasico Tapatio will take place this Saturday, February 11, 2017 (5:00 PM Pacific) when Atlas hosts Chivas of Guadalajara at the Estadio Jalisco. The most historic ‘clasico’ in Mexico is the Clasico Tapatio which dates back to 1916 which ended in a 0-0 tie. Since then, these teams have faced each other a total of 214 in all official competitions where Chivas has won 83, Atlas won 66, and 66 ties.
Atlas enters Saturday’s match after performing well following the first five weeks of the Liga MX Clausura 2017. The team coached by Jose Guadalupe Cruz is in 10th place with 7 points, and only 1 point away from the 8th place playoff seed. One bad news during the week is that their veteran captain Rafael Marquez was injured in the Mexico vs Iceland friendly meaning he will be out of this game.
Chivas of Guadalajara, like Atlas, has performed fairly well in this tournament after earning 8 of 15 possible points. The team coached by Matias Almeyda sits in 8th place and will look for an important win which may place them in the top three of the standings. The ‘rebaño sagrado’ is undefeated for two games, and a win against their city rivals will be an important momentum push as next week they play the ‘Super Clasico’ against Club America.
