What does Chivas Femenil need to finish in the Top 4 of CL26? | OneFootball

Chivas Femenil has already secured a playoff spot for the Clausura 2026, but they want more. The team led by Antonio Contreras is aiming to finish as high as possible in the standings to host the second leg of the Quarterfinals at home.

Although the team currently sits in 6th place with 31 points, they hold a key advantage: a game in hand, which they will play after the April FIFA break. On top of that, they are just 2 points behind 3rd place and could even push for second with the right combination of results.

Who are they competing against?

Five teams are fighting for a Top 4 finish:

- 2nd: América — 36 pts (+27)

- 3rd: Pachuca — 33 pts (+31)

- 4th: Tigres — 33 pts (+25)

- 5th: Toluca — 32 pts (+16)

- 6th: Guadalajara — 31 pts (+14)

Key remaining matches

There are several direct clashes that will define everything:

Matchday 16:

- Tigres vs Chivas Femenil

- Pachuca vs León

- Querétaro vs América

- Toluca vs Cruz Azul

Game in hand (Matchday 11):

- Juárez vs Chivas Femenil

Matchday 17:

- América vs Pachuca

Chivas Femenil scenarios

- Win all 3 remaining matches (40 points):Almost guarantees a Top 4 finish and could even mean a push for 2nd place.

- 2 wins + 1 draw (38 points):Very strong position to finish in the Top 4.

- 1 win + 2 draws (36 points):Would depend heavily on direct results vs Tigres and Toluca.

- 3 draws (34 points):Puts Top 4 at serious risk; would rely on other results.

- Any losses:The team would depend entirely on what their rivals do.

Bottom line

Chivas Femenil controls its own destiny. If they win their remaining matches—especially the direct clashes against Tigres and Toluca—they won’t need help from anyone else to secure a Top 4 spot.
