With Matchday 15 of the 2024 Apertura on the way, it's time to look back at the rivalry between Guadalajara and Pumas every time they play in the Perla Tapatía. It's worth noting that this record is more than favorable for the Rojiblanca squad, which has an overwhelming dominance at home against the Felinos.
Guadalajara has won the last six matches against Pumas played at the Akron Stadium, scoring 16 goals and allowing only 5. In fact, the Rebaño Sagrado's dominance is so great that in the entire history of short tournaments, the Felinos have only won once in the Perla de Occidente (Pearl of the West).
Just as you read it, Chivahermanos, of the 33 Liga MX duels played in Guadalajara, Chivas has won 17, drawn in 15 and lost in 1. To find the defeat you have to go back 6 years, as it was in the Apertura 2018 when the Universitarios won 1-2 at the Akron Stadium.
In addition, Pumas was officially the first team that the Rebaño Sagrado beat on 10 occasions inside the Fortaleza Rojiblanca and that mark was reached precisely the previous tournament, when the Chiverío beat the auriazules 3-1 on Matchday 8 of the CL24.
In fact, in terms of scoring, Guadalajara has scored at least one goal against Pumas in the last 13 matches. In this period, the team coached by Arturo Ortega has scored 28 goals and conceded 11.
There is no doubt that Chivas has an important dominance against Pumas in this city, which they must validate in the match at the Fortaleza Rojiblanca, as a win will bring them a decisive step closer to the Playoffs.
