Guadalajara must win this game in order to host a wild card game at home. Meanwhile, Monterrey need all the points to clinch a top-four spot. Don't miss this clash with playoff implications.

What has been Chivas and Monterrey's form ahead of this game?

Chivas will get to this game with only one win in their last four games. Added to that, the team must face Rayados after suspending four of their players due to a legal problem. Speaking about the team's problems on the pitch, Victor Manuel Vucetich's men will have to find an end to their current woes, which have seen them lose two of their last four games, with one draw against Pumas last week being the only silver lining in their recent past.

Monterrey, on the other hand, will get to this game in high spirits after winning the Copa MX title this week, which adds to their four-game winning streak in league play. Monterrey has not lost a single game since September 26, when Tigres defeated them with a 2-0 score in the Clásico Regio. Since that game, Antonio Mohamed's men have won five and drawn one in all comps.

What is Chivas and Monterrey's position in the ongoing Liga MX season?

Before Matchday 17 began, Chivas got to their game in eighth place. Their record shows six wins, five draws, and five losses so far in the tournament, good enough for 23 points. The team's defense has not been that bad, as they have only conceded 16 times. Nevertheless, the team's woes have taken place in front of goal, as they have only found the back of the net 17 times. Guadalajara will have to go through a wild card phase to make it to the playoffs, and they need a win here to play their wild card game at home.

On the other side of the pitch, Monterrey will make the trip to Guadalajara in fifth place. Los Rayados have won eight games, with five draws and three losses completing their tally. Mohamed's men have scored 25 goals, while their defense has conceded 18 times. A win here could be crucial for Monterrey, since a draw between Cruz Azul and Pumas later this Saturday combined with a win for Mohamed's crew could see Rayados nabbing one of the top four spots in the competition while also handing them a spot in the quarterfinals.
