It’s time, Chivahermanos! Let’s go for El Clásico de México. | OneFootball

Guadalajara heads into El Clásico de México in top form, with a chance to make a statement and prove that its place at the top of the Clausura 2026 standings is no coincidence. With a perfect start of five wins in five matches, the Red-and-White side has combined solid play, a clear identity and results that add up to 15 points.

Whenever Chivas and América face off, pride and honor are always on the line, but the current context makes this edition even more meaningful. A win would not only mark a sixth straight victory this semester, but also provide a huge confidence boost in a demanding stretch of the schedule and a firm step toward staying on top of Liga MX. The numbers back up Chivas’ great form: the best offense in Clausura 2026 with 10 goals scored and the fourth-best defense, allowing just four.

Under Gabriel Milito, the streaks keep growing: 12 wins in the last 13 regular-season matches for a 92% success rate. At Estadio AKRON, the venue for this weekend’s showdown between Mexican football’s biggest rivals, Chivas will be looking for its eighth straight match without a loss at home, having recorded seven wins and one draw. The last time El Rebaño fell at home was on September 20, 2025 — nearly five months ago.

This run has been built on balance between youth and experience. With only five matches played in the tournament, Chivas is just 52 minutes away from fulfilling the youth player rule, proving that developing talent can go hand in hand with competing at the highest level. Good football, attacking options, defensive solidity and relentless effort have defined a group that gives everything for the badge.

Against América, the stage is set: win El Clásico de México, extend the lead, keep the home streak alive and remain the dominant team in Mexican football. The time is now, Chivahermanos. Let’s go for the win.
