The most heated rivalry in Mexican football will surely set the Liga MX playoffs on fire. Keep track of this game with our detailed guide.

It's liguilla season in the Mexican top-flight, and the main course for fans to feast their eyes on will be provided by the most popular teams in Mexico: Guadalajara and América. This edition of the Clásico de Clásicos will see both teams in fine form, with most of their offensive "weapons" in shape to try and reach the semi-finals.

Guadalajara get to this match without rest, as they needed to play the wild card stage to gain access to the playoffs. Chivas won two out of their last three, and they have only lost two of their last eight, which include a 1-0 loss against América in their regular season clash.

As for América , Miguel Herrera's men will get to this match after a bye week caused by the wild card stage. Las Águilas won two of their last three games to earn the third spot in the Mexican top-flight, including a win against Tigres with a 3-1 score. Speaking of away games, two of América's three defeats in the tournament came away from home. Those losses came against Querétaro (4-1) and León (3-2).

The game will be held at Guadalajara's stadium, with the added bonus of having people in the stands. This was a controversial decision by the Governor of Jalisco, an avid Chivas fan, who decided to give access to their supporters for such a big game. This decision has gathered mostly negative comments for the local government due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the state.
