El Rebaño will try to make it to their first liguilla in over three years, but Necaxa may be a tough nut to crack when they lock horns this Saturday.

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

Chivas will enter this game having won three of their last six games, including a key 3-1 win against Monterrey in Matchday 17 of the tournament. Victor Manuel Vucetich's men only lost one of the aforementioned six games (vs Cruz Azul, 0-2), while scoring ten goals and conceding seven.

On the other side of the pitch, Necaxa will put their six-game streak without a loss on the line against Guadalajara. Five of those six games ended in a win for José Guadalupe Cruz's men, and that impressive form was key to see them earn a spot in the wild card stage despite a baffling start of the campaign that forced the team's front office to sack their previous manager.

In what position did Chivas and Necaxa end in the Guard1anes 2020 season?

Guadalajara concluded the regular season in seventh place, with their record showing seven wins, five draws, and five losses. Vucetich's crew made it to the wild card stage with 20 goals to their name and seventeen goals against them. Uriel Antuna and José Juan Macías shared the team's top scorer honors with four goals each.

Necaxa ended the first stage of the tournament in tenth place, with a record of seven wins, three draws, and seven losses. José Guadalupe Cruz's men managed to sneak into this stage ater scoring only sixteen goals. Their defense was not exactly the best, as they conceded 20 times throughout the competition. Necaxa's poor offensive record can be summarized by the fact that a defender, Unai Bilbao, was their best scorer with three goals.
