It’s the biggest game in Mexican football on Sunday and the battle between Chivas and Club America at the Estadio Omnilife is going to be a defining one in both teams’ seasons.
Chivas have confounded all expectations this season as, rather than being involved in a fight against relegation, they are top of the table after being rejuvenated by coach Jose Manuel de la Torre.
In contrast, last season’s champions America are being forced to work harder than they would have expected to make the play-offs and coach Gustavo Matosas needs a win to alleviate some of the pressure on his shoulders.
