Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Chivas Guadalajara and Queretaro. The first-division clash scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Omnilife in Guadalajara and can be live streamed here free. It can also be streamed via the Univision Deportes mobile app. Additional TV coverage can be found on UniMas.
Chivas Guadalajara manager Carlos Bustos had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Vavel): "The team has done a great job in the [Copa MX]. I think we've always gone in pursuit of results and at times, we haven't gotten them. But that's always been the ambition of the group."
"We've played great games and we have to focus on what's ahead," he added. "In the league, we have a great game at the weekend."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: All eyes are on the possible league debut of Queretaro's Ronaldinho. The former Barcelona star joined the club on a free transfer and will look to improve on his Copa MX appearance—one in which he failed to convert a penalty.
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Rodriguez; Vidrio, Araujo, Salcido; Martinez, Arce, Rodriguez, Toledo, Castro; Bravo, De Nigris
Queretaro's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hernandez; Corral, Escalante, Navarro, Osorio; Danilinho, Sinha, Ronaldinho, Silva; Sanvezzo, Jesus
