As we approach the final stretch of the Clausura 2024, Guadalajara has shown a much more convincing performance and this has enabled them to close the Regular Phase of the competition in great fashion. To achieve the outstanding performances of their most recent matches, the red and white team has taken defensive order as a base, which has allowed them to get right into the fight for a direct ticket to the Liguilla.
How are Chivas coming into the CL24?
The growth of the team from Guadalajara has taken place in different phases of the game, a clear reflection of the work of Fernando Gago and the squad every week. To begin with, they have found a balance in defense to keep a clean sheet in 3 of the 4 most recent Liga MX matches. As you read, ChivaHermanos: against América, Monterrey, and Pachuca, all in the top 6 of the CL24, the Chiverío not only scored but also managed to come out of those matches intact.
As if that were not enough, Guadalajara only allowed 3 shots on goal in the match against the Tuzos, repeating what they have done in 7 of 15 matches this season. In addition, Rebaño Sagrado is the only one of the last 15 opponents that did not allow a Pachuca goal, which highlights the Red-and-White achievement even more.
In addition to this, the team from Guadalajara is the only team in the maximum circuit that currently has three consecutive wins, with their performances against Rayados, Puebla, and Pachuca.
Finally, Fernando Gago's work at the helm of Chivas is worthy of recognition. Since the arrival of the red and white coach, they have accumulated 10 wins in 19 matches in all competitions, with an effectiveness percentage of almost 60%.
