What They're Saying
Cruz Azul midfielder Christian Giménez (via Esto): "When people say 'Clasico,' they can't forget about the rivalry against Chivas and that's what I call a Clasico. They're different. Games against Pumas, America and Chivas are Clasicos. They feel different than other games."
Chivas Guadalajara defender Jair Pereira (via Esto): "Cruz Azul have had a good start to the tournament and playing them head-to-head will give us confidence."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Chivas Guadalajara's Aldo De Nigris is yet to make a start in the Clausura campaign, but the 31-year-old has proven to be an effective substitute. In two appearances, he boasts one assist.
