This Saturday, the Estadio Akron will host one of the most anticipated matches of the Liga MX calendar: Chivas takes on América in the National Classic for the sixth round of the Clausura 2026. Both teams come into the match with contrasting circumstances in the league standings, creating high expectations among Mexican football fans following the results of the previous round.

Chivas, also known as Guadalajara, arrives as the league leader with a perfect record of five wins in five matches, boasting the most productive offense in the tournament and a defense that concedes less than a goal per game. Under the management of Gabriel Milito, they aim to extend their winning streak, especially when facing their historic rival, América.

On the other hand, Club América sits eighth in the standings, entering this crucial match after recent adjustments to their lineup. Their coaching staff, led by André Jardine, views this classic match as a turning point for improving their offensive output and overall performance this season. Fans are keenly anticipating how this rivalry will unfold, adding to the significance of the match.
