One of the most attractive games on Liga MX matchday 7 will take place next Saturday night, as Guadalajara will face Cruz Azul at the Akron Stadium. For this game, the odds have put Cruz Azul as slightly favorites to win, however Guadalajara is expected to be a motivated squad after the amazing tie they rescued during their last game against Tijuana, which definitely was one of the best games of last weekend.
Despite referred moment being a very good demonstration of Guadalajara’s resilience, the reality is that their head coach, Diego Milito, has already started to be questioned by most of the media and fans as the beginning of the season has been disastrous for them, currently being located at the bottom of the standings with 4 points. Additionally, there are no real expectations from a short-term recovery as they’ll face a very difficult calendar during the next matchdays, in which they’ll face teams like America, Tigres and Toluca.
On Cruz Azul’s case, this team has managed to keep competing on the top spots of the standings after having such a terrible performance in the Leagues Cup, being worth noting that they’re one of the only two teams which have remained unbeaten in the current Liga MX season. However, it must be remarked that during their last two on the road games, they faced many defensive difficulties against San Luis and Atlas, so this game will be a good test for them.

Our Chivas vs CF Cruz Azul Prediction
To sum up, it’s more than a reality that the confrontations between these teams in Zapopan haven’t been really spectacular during the last seasons, nonetheless after the multiple defensive errors committed by both teams, this new confrontation is really expected to be an exception to the rule.
With that in mind, Guadalajara is expected to try to be as effective as they were during the last minutes of their game against Tijuana, meanwhile Cruz Azul will most likely try to keep the game under control with organized attacks from the early instances of the game. Therefore, the pick for CD Guadalajara – CF Cruz Azul is: Total Up To The 30th Minute – Under 0.5!
