Guadalajara form and stats

The visitors are W2-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Liga MX.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Tigres UANL with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Until that defeat this club had gained at least one point from seven league fixtures in a row.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Puebla.
