**Chivas are back to business** — they've won two of their last three and are hosting a Necaxa side that's been utterly dire, dropping four of their last five. 🔴

Guadalajara's mixing draws with that stunning 2-0 over América, while Necaxa can't string together anything; even a 3-3 draw with Pachuca feels like a moral victory for them. The home crowd at Estadio Akron will be loud. The H2H is basically Chivas' personal punching bag territory.

Key storylines:

- **R. Marín and R. Alvarado** need to dominate midfield for Guadalajara — Necaxa's defensive shape has been crumbling
- **J. Carranza** carries Necaxa's attack hopes, but without offensive support from a struggling midfield he'll be isolated
- **CD Guadalajara's 3-4-2-1 shape** should give them plenty of width against Necaxa's stretched backline

Expected lineups:

- **CD Guadalajara**: R. Rangel, D. Campillo, D. Aguirre, C. Hernández, M. Gómez, F. González, L. Romo, O. Govea, R. Alvarado, R. Marín, J. Perez
- **Club Necaxa**: L. Jimenez, M. Zaleta, A. Peña, F. Méndez, A. Oliveros, D. Leyva, M. Espíndola, L. Faravelli, P. Pedraza, K. Rosero, J. Carranza

Prediction:

**Guadalajara 2–0 Necaxa** — Chivas are the clear lean here; Necaxa's form is rotten and the away fixture makes it worse. 🎯
