CD Guadalajara aims to extend their flawless start to the Liga MX campaign as they host Atletico San Luis at the Akron Stadium.
Chivas showcased their brilliance in the Clausara tournament last summer, securing an impressive third-place finish and making it to the tournament final. Although they let slip a 2-0 lead against Tigres in the second leg, their performances last season serve as immense motivation for the team.
The new campaign has seen Chivas make an exhilarating start with a fantastic away victory against CD Leon. Young talent Jonathan Pedilla sealed the win with a goal, earning three valuable points for Chivas in their opening clash.
On the other hand, Atletico San Luis had a disastrous 2022-23 campaign, failing to reach the playoffs in the Apertura tournament. They managed to secure only 18 points from 17 games, leaving them in the 13th spot on the table. Although they finished 12th in the second stage of the season, they stumbled in the playoffs, losing 4-3 to Club America in the quarter-finals.
One major concern for Gustavo Leal’s side is their poor away record, having garnered only 4 points from 9 away games. This deficiency had a detrimental impact on their chances of success. Despite their dominant performance against Monterrey, failing to convert their chances into goals and settling for a draw will surely sting for Atletico.

Team News & Squads
Chivas Team News
Chivas has established themselves as a solid defensive team, capable of quick ball recycling and transitions. Operating in a 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1 formation, Chivas dominates in their defensive areas and poses a significant threat on the counter-attack.
After a victorious opening game, Chivas may field the same starting eleven, buoyed by their momentum. 17-year-old Padilla, who scored his first goal for the club, could be positioned on the right wing, with experienced campaigner Isaac Brizuela starting on the bench. Brizuela’s introduction as a substitute can create havoc and provide the Mexican outfit with player rotation options.
Chivas will be without Carlos Cisneros and Jose Macias, both sidelined with knee injuries, as well as Alexis Vega, also recovering from a knee injury.
Chivas Possible XI: Jimenez; Mozo, Briseno, Orozco, Calderon; Gonzalez; Beltran, Padilla, Guzman, Perez; Marin
San Luis Team News
Assistant manager Leal has made excellent transfers since taking over from former manager Andre Jardine. Defensive acquisitions like Julio Cesar Dominguez (free transfer) and Jordan Silva could bolster the Mexican club’s defense, which struggled in the previous campaign.
Fortunately for Leal, there are no significant injury concerns. San Luis will miss the services of Leo Bonatini, whose absence is a notable setback since he scored three goals in three games before last season’s conclusion.
San Luis Possible XI: Sanchez; Dominguez, Arteta, Garcia; Rodrigo, Guemez, Chavez, Vitinho; Zaldivar, Murillo, Villalpando
Head-to-Head Record
San Luis has had the upper hand in the previous five encounters, winning three matches and drawing two. With Chivas failing to secure a victory in their previous five meetings, the Mexican club is determined to rewrite history this time.
