Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Chivas Guadalajara and Santos Laguna. The first-division clash scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Omnilife in Guadalajara and can be live streamed free via the Univision Deportes mobile app. Additional TV coverage can be found on UniMas.
It was a 3-0 undressing at the hands of Pachuca last Saturday for Chivas Guadalajara. The club failed to take advantage of its 11 shots inside the area. For manager Carlos Bustos, it was a lack of concentration that ultimately cost his men the result.
"Today, we didn't come on to the pitch well," Bustos said following the match (via El Sol). "We weren't concentrated. I think we played with enough potency; however, we didn't have the level of concentration we needed. Whenever you have a [lopsided] result like that, undoubtedly, you want to be unhappy."
Bustos and his men must bring a higher level of concentration this evening if they are to dispatch a Santos Laguna side teetering below mid-table.
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Santos Laguna's Danny Quintero remains the club's creative force this tournament. The 26-year-old is yet to contribute a goal, but is responsible for a club-best 12 created chances in four appearances, with two serving as assists.
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (3-4-3): Rodriguez; Rodriguez, Araujo, Salcido; Arce, Rodriguez, Sanchez, Castro; Bravo, De Nigris, Fierro
Santos Laguna's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sanchez; Alanis, Aldrete, Izquierdoz, Fanjul; Rodriguez, Salinas, Hernandez; Quintero, Renteria, Djaniny
