Chivas vs Mazatlan FC Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 10/18/25, 5:48 PM  by Erik Gibbs | Modified on 10/18/25 at 11:07 PM in Liga MX Picks

In Liga MX Apertura action, Chivas de Guadalajara will host Mazatlán FC at Estadio AKRON on Saturday evening. Chivas enter the game in much better form than their visitors. Guadalajara currently sits 9th in the standings and has been on an upward trajectory. They have won four of their last six league matches, including three in a row leading up to this fixture. This resurgence has kept Chivas in playoff contention, and they will be keen to extend their streak. Guadalajara have also been confident at home, showing improved attacking fluency and defensive solidity in recent games.

Mazatlán FC, by contrast, have struggled throughout the Apertura. They are near the lower end of the table (around 13th place with 11 points) and have only two wins in 12 matches. Mazatlán have been largely winless in recent weeks, often settling for draws or suffering defeats. Notably, they have been very poor away from home – failing to win in six away outings this season (0–2–4).

Defensive issues have been a major problem for Mazatlán, as evidenced by 21 goals allowed, and the team has found it difficult to maintain leads. As a result, their hopes of making the playoffs are fading, and they arrive with minimal momentum.
