Two clubs in the top half of Liga MX table will do battle today in a league match between Chivas Guadalajara and Club America. The Súper Clásico scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Omnilife in Guadalajara and can be live streamed free through Univision Deportes mobile.
Both Chivas and America enter the clásico of clásicos level on points with 17. The slimmest of margins—a minus-one goal differential—is all that's keeping Guadalajara from the final playoff spot in the Liga MX table. Fortunately for the club, manager Jose Luis Real believes his men are in good form ahead of tonight's Súper Clásico (h/t to En El Area Chica). "We're in good form, but not great form. We're still a bit off, [but not by much]," Real said.
"This has me happy because the team has great character and are working hard. It's obvious we're around mid-table. That's how we've become one of the important teams," he added.
"We're aware the supporters expect more from us and we're going to do everything from our part to give that to them."
Will Chivas do their part and deliver an all-important victory in the Súper Clásico? Tell us @SportsWN
