Chivas is playing for much more than just three points against Pumas. In this Matchday 13 showdown of the Clausura 2026, the Rebaño has a pair of historic milestones within reach. On one hand, they will look to match their unbeaten streak of 11 matches at Estadio AKRON, as they currently stand at 10—while boasting an impressive 93% efficiency rate.
On the other hand, they will aim to set a new club record in short tournaments. Chivas has already recorded 10 wins in the competition and is just one victory away from surpassing what was achieved in Clausura 2023, Bicentenario 2010, Clausura 2004, and Invierno 1998.
As if that weren’t enough, Guadalajara controls its own destiny in the race for the top spot in the standings. A win over UNAM would allow them to maintain their lead over second place.
