Team news
Given the relevance of this match, Club América will try to get some payback against their bitter rivals. Coach Ricardo La Volpe, who previously worked for Chivas in 2014 and was fired after just four games, steps into this match with a six-game streak without a loss. A win against Chivas would help him get some credibility, and will also settle a personal score against "El Rebaño Sagrado" and its owner, Jorge Vergara.
Back in May, América defeated Chivas with a great counter attack. Can Oribe Peralta work his magic against Chivas one more time?

On the other side of the pitch, Matías Almeyda's crew saw their unbeaten streak in Liga MX come to an end this Sunday, but given their good performances at Azteca Stadium recently, there's cause for hope among their followers. If Guadalajara wants to damage the hosts, Almeyda will hope for a good performance by Isaac Brizuela, who scored a brace against Las Aguilas two months ago.
