Guadalajara’s match against Mazatlán FC to be held tomorrow at 5 at Estadio Akron as part of Matchweek 12 of Liga MX Guard1anes 2020 will add a new chapter against a ”newborn” team. Chivas will try to triumph over the Sinaloans to, on the one hand, get back to winning and remain on the hunt for a playoff spot, and incidentally increase their good record against newcomers.
During the past 11 years, El Rebaño Sagrado posts a 7-win, 1-draw, and 3-defeat record against newly included teams. It should be noted that during the 2018-19 season, Lobos BUAP paid a fine for having been mathematically relegated and that payment allowed them to avoid relegation, and in the 2019-2020 Season, FC Juárez acquired the Lobos franchise, which is a very similar situation to that of Mazatlán as they acquired Monarcas Morelia's spot in Mexico's Top-Flight division.
