Guadalajara vs Tigres Prediction and Betting Tips

Guadalajara entertain Tigres at the Estadio Jalisco in the Liga MX on Saturday (October 28).

Both teams are in the top six of the table, making them potential candidates for the quarterfinals of the final phase. Guadalajara are sixth with 21 points – four behind second-placed Tigres. The hosts will reach the top three if they claim maximum points on Sunday and other results are favourable.

Chivas finished ninth in the Torneo Apertura last season and had to go through reclassification in view of reaching the final phase. However, they were knocked out by Puebla. They will look to avoid such an eventuality this term by earning a direct qualification to the quarterfinals.

Tigres, meanwhile, are eyeing the top spot, trailing first-placed America by five points. They will reduce the gap if they succeed at the Estadio Jalisco, where their last meeting with Guadalajara ended 3-2 in favour of Tigres. The visitors have lost two of their previous three clashes with Guadalajara, though, drawing the other.

Los Tigres have been in blistering form, winning six of their last 10 games. They are unbeaten in seven games across competitions. Tigres have been impressive on the road as well, winning three of five games.
