Everything indicates that Chivas' coach, the Argentinian Gabriel Milito, plans to repeat the lineup that defeated America in the 264th edition of the Clasico Nacional this weekend against Cruz Azul, meaning Fernando "Oso" Gonzalez and Diego Campillo would continue as starters and Brian Rodriguez as a substitute. substitute.

The old saying goes that a winning lineup should be repeated in the next match, and that's what the Argentine strategist of the "Sacred Flock" plans to do, after Campillo's success in neutralizing first Henry Martin and then Jose "Pantera" Zuniga in the classic against the Americanistas.

In addition, the work of Fernando "Oso" Gonzalez along with Omar Govea in the recovery zone gave them more strength, allowing them Efrain Alvarez and Daniel Aguirre more freedom in attack to support Roberto "Piojo" Alvarado and Armando "Hormiga" Gonzalez.

This strength meant that Brian Gutierrez, who started the first five matches, will apparently have to start from the bench, although we'll have to wait and see if they decide to bring in the Mexican-American player who arrived this season from the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer (MLS) at the last minute.

The probable lineup for Guadalajara would be with Raul Rangel in the Goalkeeper; Richie Ledezma, Jose Castillo, Diego Campillo, and Bryan Gonzalez in defense; Fernando Gonzalez, Omar Govea, Efrain Alvarez, and Daniel Aguirre in midfield; and Roberto Alvarado and Armando Gonzalez in attack. As of now, there is no exact date for Luis Romo's return, so Diego Campillo will continue to start after his good performance against America. This lineup is expected to pay off against Cruz Azul as they seek their seventh consecutive victory and a devastating start. Chivas will be looking to break Cruz Azul's dominance in the last six games, where they have recorded five losses and one draw, as the Sacred Flock has only managed to win in the 2023 Apertura tournament.This means that the Guadalajara team will have to show better arguments to overcome Cruz Azul in this match, where a Cruz Azul victory would put them only three points behind Chivas, and if the Guadalajara team wins, they would be eight points behind La Maquina.
