Guadalajara vs Necaxa Match Preview
Who wants it more in Guadalajara?
The Chivas are rapidly fading from the playoff race, and their poor production at home (they rank 15th out of 18 in this regard) won't help matters.
With eleven goals in just eleven matches, the Goats are definitely missing their former star striker, Javier Hernández, who now plays for a certain red-clad team in Manchester.
And despite visiting Necaxa's even lesser goal production (ten in eleven matches), they boast the country's best defense, and recent positive results have vaulted them from the bottom spot in the relegation table.
Under mid-season replacement manager Daniel Brailovsky, the Rayos have obtained seven of their 13 total points in just five matches with the Argentinian at the helm.
A win for each would ensure that they stay above the other in the league table: Necaxa is 13th, Chivas is 14th with 12 points.
Guadalajara vs Necaxa Match Report
Guadalajara got back to their winning ways -- just in time too, as the national derby against América is just a week away.
A fantastic Marco Fabián strike gave Chivas the three points up for grabs in the match, as the win also meant that Guadalajara keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
The loss meant Necaxa slid back into the lowest spot of the relegation table, as their volatile percentage dipped below Querétaro's.
Letting go of the three points in dispute also means that Necaxa are virtually assured of missing the post-season this season.
