The Guadalajara Sports Club, known as the Chivas, is immersed in a worrying streak of four games without a victory. The last time they celebrated a win was on August 22, exactly one month ago, when they defeated Tijuana 1-0 at home. However, since then, their performance has been irregular, accumulating three consecutive defeats against Santos, Monterrey, and their eternal rival, America, in addition to a goalless draw against Pachuca. This series of adverse results has had an impact on their position in the overall standings.
The team that once led the Apertura 2023 is now fighting to regain its form and position in the table. Even after their painful defeat against America, the club's sporting director, Fernando Hierro, was forced to come out and face the situation to defend the current project and reaffirm confidence in their coach, Veljko Paunovic. Although they managed to stop the losing streak by obtaining a draw against Pachuca, the main objective is to regain the path of victory.

On the other hand, the Mazatlán team is also going through a drought in terms of victories, as they have not won since August 22 when they defeated Puebla 1-0 at the Kraken Stadium. Despite this, they have shown to be a dangerous team offensively, scoring goals in several games since then. Their main challenge has been defense, as they have suffered defeats against FC Juárez and Atlético de San Luis, in addition to a draw against Cruz Azul.
It is worth mentioning that Mazatlán has not been successful in their away visits throughout the tournament, which makes them a team eager to take advantage of Chivas' difficult moment and put an end to their own bad streak.
As for the previous encounters between Chivas and Mazatlán at the Akron Stadium, the record favors the rojiblanco team, as they have achieved victory in the three games played at that venue. One of the most recent matches, in April of this year, ended with a resounding 4-1 victory for Chivas in the Clausura 2023.
In summary, this anticipated match between Chivas and Mazatlán promises to be an exciting and crucial game for both teams. Chivas will desperately seek to put an end to their streak of negative results and regain their position in the table, while Mazatlán will try to take advantage of this opportunity to earn important points and improve their performance in the tournament.
