Marcelo Michel Leano hasn’t seen his side string together a consistent run of results for quite a while now, but that lack of form does not mean they will fold easily against their rivals.
Defeat against Queretaro has left them looking to get back into the swing of winning things again, with Alexis Vega back fit and firing after his injury layoff.
Predicted Chivas starting XI: Gudino; Sepulveda, Briseno, Olivas, Mayorga; Beltran, Flores, Antuna, Angulo, Calderon; Vega.

|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Hernandes, Vargas |
| Defenders | Nervo, Abella, Santamaria, Aguirre, Reyes, Barbossa, Chala, Gomez, Vazquez, Angulo |
| Midfielders | Zaldivar, Maroni, Garnica, Marquez, Ortega, Rocha |
| Forwards | Furch, Torres, Troyansky, Trejo, Quinones, Herrera |
Diego Cocca will be more than aware that, despite a superior league standing, he needs to buck a derby trend that has seen La Furia go winless in this clash since 2018.
Gonzalo Maroni and Julio Furch will both be looking for recalls after coming off the bench last time around against Puebla.
Predicted Leon starting XI: Vargas; Barbossa, Santamaria, Nervo, Angulo; Zaldivar, Rocha, Herrera; Maroni, Furch, Trejo.
