Jaguares vs Guadalajara Match Preview
A seemingly improbable war of words has surrounded this match, as Jaguares have taken it upon themselves to heat up the atmosphere surrounding the fixture.
This week's media presser included a poster of Chivas midfielder Adolfo "Bofo" Bautista being slapped in the face with a red glove (the same kind Bautista usually wears on the pitch) with the inscription "Ready to slap Chivas on Saturday?"
Bautista played for Chiapas during his hiatus from Chivas, and is widely regarded as a bad investment for the jungle-dwelling team. Meanwhile, Chiapas have bigger things to worry about, as they've lost five in a row in the league and were slammed 4-0 in Brazil during their Copa Libertadores match with Internacional.
Chivas have apparently solved their goalscoring woes thanks to the excellent pairing of Erick Torres and Jorge Mora, two players whose combined age is 35, or four more than Bautista.
Their 4-1 thrashing of Pachuca last weekend have them buzzing, and confirmation of their potential uprising will surely take place in Chiapas.
