Guadalajara's Chivas are currently experiencing a strong performance in Liga MX, winning all five of their initial matches and accumulating 15 points, making them the general leader and favorites for the upcoming Clásico de México. This match, set to take place at the Akron Stadium, comes with high expectations due to their impressive form. However, Chivas faces the harsh reality of having not defeated their rivals, América, at home in the regular season for nearly nine years. The last time Chivas managed to secure a home victory against América was during the Clausura 2017 tournament in the seventh week, when they won 1-0, thanks to a penalty goal scored by Ángel Zaldívar. Since that memorable win, the team has played seven home games against América, of which four have ended in draws and three have been victories for the visiting side. This historical context adds pressure on Chivas as they aim not only to maintain their winning streak but also to overcome this long-standing rivalry hurdle. The upcoming match poses significant implications for both teams. A victory for Chivas could reinforce their title credentials, signifying a real turnaround in their historical struggles against América. Conversely, another loss would prolong their curse, raising questions about their ability to perform under pressure, particularly in key matches. Fans and analysts alike are keenly watching how this scenario unfolds, making the Clásico de México a highly anticipated event this weekend.
