Chivas Femenil and J1: made for each other | OneFootball

The countdown begins, Rojiblanca Nation! This Sunday, we have a date with Chivas Femenil, who will kick off their Apertura 2026 campaign in the new women’s league, driven by the same hope as every semester: to be a leading force in the tournament and compete for the very top of the pink circuit. The Herd’s first opponent will be Querétaro. While the head-to-head history favors Guadalajara, there is an even more compelling stat in favor of Antonio Contreras’ side. When it comes to Matchday 1, the Rojiblancas have had an almost spotless record since the league was created. In 18 Liga Femenil openings, the Herd has suffered just one defeat. That’s right, Chivahermanos: our team got results in 17 of them, with 15 wins and 2 draws. Add to that the fact that it has been more than 6 years—13 semesters, to be exact—since the Guadalajara side last failed to earn 3 points on Matchday 1, and it’s clear the balance tips toward the Rojiblanco side.  Now, the scoring department also belongs to Chivas Femenil, as the team found the net in each of its 18 opening matches, racking up 42 goals, for an average of 2.3 goals per opener.  At the same time, efficiency has to go hand in hand with defensive solidity, another area Guadalajara has well covered: they have kept a clean sheet in 10 of 18 opening rounds, conceding only 9 goals; that is, 1 goal against every two semesters. And if we want to add to the stat, the Rojiblancas have gone 3 years without allowing a goal against in an opener; the last one came on Matchday 1 of Apertura 2023, when they drew 1-1 with Xolos. Lastly, we need to consider one of the most important elements in this equation: home field. Whenever the Herd opens a new tournament at home, its record is nearly perfect. There have been 10 times our team has kicked off the pink circuit on home soil, collecting 9 wins and just 1 draw. Rojiblanco Note
