Guadalajara form and stats

Guadalajara have played three Liga MX home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The last three games played by Guadalajara, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

An away draw last time out for Guadalajara, facing Querétaro in a game that ended 2-2. Guadalajara's goalie Jimenez played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Querétaro with a stunning six saves. The gifted forward Vega edged out all the other players in that match and received a match rating of 8.11 out of 10. Vega scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

Before that, Guadalajara played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Santos Laguna.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Guadalajara have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 4 and lost 6.

Guadalajara have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
