The moment Chivas are living under Gabriel Milito direction is outstanding. With the 3–2 win over Atlético San Luis on Matchday 4, Guadalajara not only confirmed its strong momentum as the only team to win its first four matches, but also once again showed its footballing potential and cemented its status as a leading contender in Liga MX.
Their best start in recent tournamentsAfter beating Pachuca, FC Juárez, Querétaro and San Luis, El Rebaño Sagrado surpassed its starts to the Apertura 2023 and Clausura 2019, tournaments in which the club opened with three straight wins. This time around, Chivas have set their best start to a season in the last tournaments.
Gabriel Milito’s effectiveness at the helmThe collective momentum is firmly supported by what’s happening on the bench. With the Argentine coach in charge, Guadalajara have played 26 official matches across Liga MX and Leagues Cup, posting a record of 14 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses—numbers that point to a project that’s clearly taking shape and growing into a well-defined identity.
The current streaksChivas have found real consistency, reflected in 11 wins from their last 12 regular-season matches, a 91% success rate that explains why the club currently sits at the top of the standings.
On the road, Guadalajara are also proving to be one of the league’s toughest visitors. They’ll look to add a seventh away win, having claimed victory in six of their last eight matches away from home.
And at Estadio AKRON, the story is just as positive. El Guadalajara side is on a seven-match unbeaten run at home, with six wins and one draw.
The squad’s winning mindset, the level of play they’ve reached, and—above all—their ability to respond in difficult scenarios, like they did in San Luis, are key footballing reasons that help explain the stats and results posted so far by Gabriel Milito’s Chivas.
