El Clásico de México is just around the corner and will arrive at an ideal moment for Guadalajara, which will look to extend its unbeaten streak to seven consecutive matches this Saturday at Estadio Azteca, in a Jornada 9 matchup of the Apertura 2026.
The recent history of El Clásico Nacional reflects the intensity with which Chivas approaches these matches, as in their last five regular-season Liga MX meetings against their fiercest rival, the Rebaño has won two, drawn two and lost just one.
Across those five most recent encounters, the Rebaño has combined attacking efficiency with defensive solidity to secure positive results, keeping a clean sheet on three occasions. In fact, in the current tournament, the Rojiblancos boast the best defensive record, having conceded just six goals, while ranking third in the league in goals scored with 15.
Chivas’ Weapon: Consistency and Regularity to Win the Clásico
Beyond the pride that comes with once again defeating their fiercest rival, Guadalajara wants to maintain the consistent form it has established, as it has recorded six wins, three draws and just one loss in its last 10 matches played this semester.
This new edition of El Clásico de México will have an added ingredient, as the Rebaño has 17 points and sits just two points away from the top spot in the standings. In addition, Chivas has the opportunity to create some separation from Las Águilas in the table, as América sits just one point behind the most popular and beloved team in our country.
